as far as I know the whole Thinkpad series until today - will be supported - see more about at thinkwiki.
- I personally provide the t- and r- series pre-installed with 8.10 and Windows as a dual boot system. That does not meen, that I remove the Windows License sticker on it ( ....since that could be advantageous that you have a valid MS License, when sell later in his life...)

I'm trying to establish a precedent for brand-name computers without OS, but it's nearly impossible to achieve. Most brand-name manufacturers do not have the courage to offer machines without OS to the general public. I've had some success with Fujitsu-Siemens, so I can get you any Fujitsu-Siemens laptop (except Amilo series) without OS. There are still a few compatibility problems on some models, the 72x0 series can't change the backlight brightness for example. Other than that, they're OK. I'm also talking to two other brands, but no success so far on that front. My store's address is http://www.lincomp.ch, but if I can give you a hint, perhaps don't order anything before Christmas :) Prices will be updated in January.

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 ?crit : > 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] ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2008 12:57:37 +0100 From: Jonathan Ernst <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Ubuntu-ch] Notebook with Ubuntu or without OS To: nathalie <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Message-ID: <1229860657.32009.13.ca...@jernst-desktop> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Le samedi 20 d?cembre 2008 ? 23:10 +0100, nathalie a ?crit : [...] > 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 ...
