Is there anywhere in the UK that I can buy Linux preinstalled on any manufacturer's laptop? Have you contacted SuSE UK about this - they'll know about any OEM arrangements that exist.

I haven't. I've looked at the supported hardware pages on the website because I thought they'd publish any relevant information there (and what is there looks out of date). But it's a good thought; I'll give them a call. Thanks, Dave

I have never heard of a major Computer Manufacturer who Pre installs SuSE on a LapTop? Dell and IBM? used to do that other Dist, but they have discontinued that....

Have you looked in the latest issues of LinuxFormat (http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/)? Maybe you can find an ad for a LapTop there? Or a Review or Recomendation?

Have a look at the following site. http://www.emperorlinux.com/ Ken Schneider
