Hi Dick, I am inquired the same thing with Dell and was told by our rep that you can request a laptop with No-OS or Linux pre-installed. I am not sure if you need to be under a business account or not, but I don't believe so.
If your work has an account set-up with them, you can even get it so that you order it under that account and then pay for it with your credit card. I know the kiosk mall monkeys don't know much and the consumer phone guys may not know that much more. But check it out. I will check the notes I had at work and if I find out more I will let you know. I might even be able to get you a contact.

He said it was going to happen soon, but he didn't have a date. He asked me to e-mail him with my request as the more customers that express interest the quicker it might happen. My request has been lodged. I'll keep the list informed if people are interested. -- Dick - an old mainframer trying to get current. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
