I want a linux laptop

I also would like to buy a laptop with linux pre-installed. Specifically, I would like an Ubuntu laptop where I don't have to jack around with wireless driver hacks or the xorg.conf file.

Mr. Dell, you want to know how to help your company? Give the users what we want. Give us the ability to buy a computer off the shelf with the operating system we want to use. And it would be even better if we didn't have to pay the "Windows Tax" on the hardware as well.

Cheers,
