Aspire 5542 comes with Linpux Linux preloaded and is about Rs. 3500
less than it's cousin with Win7. You can remove and install any
one of the distros released recently.
I have talked with a few Dell marketing guys and they claim that
their Vostro line comes with Ubuntu pre-installed.
Contact me offlist if you are interested.
Off late, Acer laptops do not detect the LAN card directly in Linux
and the driver has to be manually loaded. This is quite a pain as it
has to be downloaded on another pc and transferred manually before
running the compile process.
