I had try to buy an ubuntu machine from Dell (last summer) and I gave up. After several days of trying to get a fair price (because the Ubuntu machine get $200 box more expensive than the same Windows machine after updates). They tall me they won't ship Linux machines to Puerto Rico (where I lived), even when they have and Ubuntu section in their Puerto Rico web site. But the worst was that the Dell agent try to force me to buy a Windows machine during the whole process. What part of "I'm not interested on Windows" their do not understand?
