Hello,
My laptop just died (RIP) (it never worked correctly anyways) so I
decide I could (try to) buy another one but it has to be without OS or
with linux (Ubuntu) but absolutely without Win.
So I went to a shop where I know they sell desktop bare and asked ...
and they told me ALL the laptops are delivered to them with Win
pre-installed.
So I asked if it was possible to remove Win out and ask for the refund
to either them or Microsoft and they told me : noway (looking at me as
if I came out of outer space).
Is one of you knowing where I could get a sample of this strange beast
cause I need one for yesterday ;-) and ordering one over the net will
make me wait.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers,
Guilain

Asus sells laptops pre-installed with Linux
http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS9292516116.html
I'm also looking for such a laptop. It can be purchased directly on the
web, but my problem is that I'm looking for a french keyboard.
Recently, I've been told that there was no problem exchanging keyboards
from ASUS, but I didn't had time yet to go further.
Maybe we might organise a grouped purchase ?

We bought ours at the EP Mediastore in Strassen, with German keyboard.
If you're looking for french, why don't you buy one in Thionville.
It comes with a special Asus-flavored Linux on it which I don't like so
much (big icons, no easy way to install/deinstall software etc.)
I reformated the disk and put eeeXubuntu on it.

A couple of months ago, I bought an operating-system-less laptop at
Romain Gaasch's shop in Esch-sur-Alzette. He didn't have it on stock,
but the wait was short: one week later it was there. And if you are
lucky, he might have one in stock right now, so no wait.
You can find his contact details on www.briga.lu

Another way to explore is the french Dell online shop.
They are selling stuff with Ubuntu preinstalled.
