Jason ShiroffMany, many people have asked me where I bought my linux laptop, or where they can buy one for use with linux. Enough people that I'm writing this web page so that it might be of use to others.
I extensively researched the companies that will sell laptops with no-OS or Linux preinstalled. This information is distressingly difficult to find, so I present a list below. I encourage you all to vote with your dollar and do not send a single penny to the monopoly in Redmond. If you want a linux laptop, pay for a linux laptop or there will be nobody selling them. -

Original Design Manufacturers (ODM's) actually manufacture the hardware, which they then sell to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's) that then install a CPU, RAM, hard drive, and software. Some major ODM's are Asus, Clevo, Compal, FIC, Mitac, Quanta, Uniwill, and Wistron. Major OEM's are the ones you're probably familiar with: Compaq, Dell, Gateway, HP, IBM, Sony, and Toshiba.
