Pre-installed linux (any flavor). Small company based in
Berkeley with good customer support. I had a good experience
with <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://system76.com">system76.com</a>
from years back but they don't carry as many lightweight

I recently bought a desktop and monitor from Zareason and I really
like those folks. I consulted with them before hand; asked some
questions. They were helpful, responsive, and friendly. <br>
<br>
They created a dual boot, which for them is rare. I sent down the
Windows 7. My version of Linux (Xubuntu) wasn't on their list of
distros, but they put it on anyway.<br>
<br>
If I ever need a new laptop I'll probably go to them.<br>
