There's a company called system76 >http://system76.com/ That sell
Ubuntu
preinstalled machines..

And: Any company that has an OEM license with M$ has to pay M$ a
certain amount for each machine out the door,? whether that machine
has winders installed or not.

If the Linux install is too tedious, buy a machine with Linux installed,
and buy your own copy of winders for dual boot. (It ain't that _hard_,
if one partitions the HD properly in the first place.)

To e-mail me, add the character zero to "dowcom". i.e.:
