hello, see info there ( in french -- sorry !) http://wiki.swisslinux.org/fr/association/projets/detaxe?s[]=achat&s[]=portable#magasins_suggeres you can have links to some shops / in german switzerand as well - saling laptop without os or with linux, but some links seem outdated :-\ one shop in france seem to ship to switzerland as well from its online store: http://www.novatux.com/cat.php they have laptop with ubuntu 8.04 if you buy to steg computer online, you can have desktop computer without OS, but no more laptop ( since 2007 !!!)
but it is very hard / if not impossible / to find laptop with Linux on local store in switzerland. And dont' ask them as i did (FNAC, SONY .. ), to remove the microsoft products for you before you buy it, they won't, they will refuse ... Above all: Dell :which french, italian or english stores, ( as well as the us store), sale laptops with Ubuntu, Dell switzerland surprisingly, does not ! ( as i remember: it was a Dell.com decision two years ago, to offer an alternative to its consumers !) Do they think swiss consumers are not interested enough ? It seems that you can ask dell to remove the microsoft system and products from your computer and give you the money back, but i do not know how much time you have to spend and how much phone calls you have to do that bring you to this result ... cheers nathalie Dominique Hausser a écrit : > Hello, > > Sorry to come back with this question, but I am unable to find any info > on the web today (I did find some couple of weeks ago; I was sure there > was a link from the Ubuntu Swiss team page). > > Where in Switzerland is it possible to buy notebook (ubuntu compatible) > without OS or why not with ubuntu already installed ? > > I'll ask this question because I have to renew my equipment and do not > want to buy a produce I'll never use. > > Thanks in advance for your suggestions and happy new year. > -- nathalie perrin netartiste & editrice webart - tactical media & collaborative works http://www.meetopia.net [email protected] -- Ubuntu-ch mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ch
