[LUNI] FW: [Chicago] can I buy a ubuntu dell from a local store?

[Carl Karsten]

I can install no problem.  all I need is the 'basic' hardware support: ide/sata, 
keyboard, usb. (I don't even need X, so video is hardly on my list)

mainly trying to A) support companies that support Linux, and B) aovid buying 4 
copies of Vista.
