nah.

But who knows? They might begin to sell some PCs with ubuntu.

My first comp was acer and it lasted pretty well so if that happens I might consider them...

Acer India has been offering Linux preloaded computers for ages. I see them all the time in the newspaper. Too bad most of them don't have enough memory.

Hey, neat! Acer's are really good, I've heard.
This is good news!

But a spokesperson for Acer told ZDNet.co.uk on Tuesday that the company — one of the world's top laptop manufacturers — had quot;no plansquot; to sell any Linux-based systems in the UK. quot;[Acer models] with  pre-loaded are available at the factory level. However, there is no demand for it in the UK. Therefore, those configurations are not an option [for UK customers] at the moment,quot; said the spokesperson.

quot;If the demand was there, then Acer would sell it,quot; the spokesperson said, adding that such a demand would have to be reported to Acer by its UK resellers.

I have an Acer laptop that runs Feisty very well, it's a Travelmate 4200 WLMi, all intel chipsets. Everything Just Works.

It cam with vista home basic, but I simply backed up the factory image, then erased the HDD save the 6GB recovery partition.
