Marc, Some time ago there was a thread on this list stating there are no computers offered with Linux installed on them. I stumbled accidentally on this product and wanted to let the readers know about it. I don't know Compulab and my post was NOT intended to be a recommendation. However it is small: 10X11X3cm, fits in a pocket. There also are others offered with Linux as Asus EEE.
I myself use a Dell laptop with both M$ XPPro and Ubuntu 8.10 installed on it dual-boot and have no industrial interest in computers.
