I tried, but it was back-ordered
I tried buying an Ubuntu laptop from dell but it was back-ordered for 6 weeks. I finally called them and told them to just ship me a computer with the specs I paid for, which got me a vista laptop in 3 days. I installed Ubuntu myself first thing which went fairly smoothly. I wonder how many people were put off by similar delay and back-order problems.
