Do you know if any vendors (Dell, HP, or something more off-beat) sell Linux laptops as "first class" options? By that I mean, instead of buying a Windows or Mac and installing a Linux distro on it, I want to buy the laptop with Linux pre-installed.
My feeling is that this will ease the transition especially re: drivers and any future tech support, and will make me feel more confident about the decision. I am pretty well adept at Linux already, but it's still a big step to use it for my personal computing.
I know Dell used to do this with Ubuntu, but backed out after a while.
