I sell laptops. Refurbished mainly, but some new.
If you wanted to buy one with whatever flavour of LInux I would happily
install it pre-purchase.
Otherwise if you would like to buy one with no system, I would install it
for you, and probably show you. =o)
Hope this helps
Not putting my business name in - this is not for that.
