Getting a Netbook with Linux
I am having difficulty finding a netbook with Linux on it on the internet. They used to be really popular but I can find any UK site that now sells netbooks with Linux on it.
Obviously I could get one with XP or windows 7 on it and install Ubuntu over it but I would prefer to save the money! Apart from local computer shops is there any way I could get a netbook without paying for a MS OS?

I'm pretty sure Dell still do them on there Inspiron laptops. Could be wrong though.

Re: Getting a Netbook with Linux
I need a new laptop because the case on my current Dell is falling apart and the charger is broken and I have been quoted £190 to replace both of them - which isnt worth it for a 2 and a half year old computer. Its not covered under my warranty as its classed as 'wear and tear'. I don't want to get another computer from them!Originally Posted by Noble Savage
Its a shame that almost all the big companies have stopped selling linux netbooks, its a much faster, cheaper and secure choice!

Just buy the hardware and install the OS yourself?
