I'm looking for a good Dell LT, but when I asked them for a no o/s or Linux
they wouldn't sell me one. If fact, the sales 'droid I talked to said they only
sell them with Windows so they could "...be sure it's working right."

Is there secret phone number that would connect me to their skunk works so
I can get a laptop with Linux on it? Seems that the Windows sales reps
there don't know about Linux, and claimed it didn't exist.

But I might just try Keith's idea, too.

Cheers,
