"do you have a laptop that runs GNU/Linux OS? obviously they don't understand. I take that opportunity to tell them. since I do this so often, at least once they recall that some people need this OS on their laptops. when ever you pass by shops keep asking what you want them to sell. since they are interested in selling, they might in future tell the dealers that some people are asking for machines without OS. or with GNU/Linux. btw, we buy lots of laptops and desktops at our office without OS (freeDOS) from companies such as Dell, HCL, HP, Cannoi, ...
