1. Is there a good shop in mumbai to buy linux pre-installed laptop (see

Linux that comes preloaded in laptops is a sorry excuse for linux. You will have to load a proper desktop distribution like Kubuntu or Ubuntu over it.

Look for 915, 945 chipsets. If you buy Core2 Duo, please get its full specs and check for Linux compatibility or you are in trouble. Same for dual core. If you can get Intel 2200 B/G wireless lappys then your wireless problems are solved. My Acer 2428 is fully linux compatible. It uses 915 chipsets and 2200 B/G wireless. But it is an economy starter model with no bluetooth or card reader and RAM is 256 MB. Battery life is only 3 hours.
