I was looking for a netbook or laptop, and i ought to dig more, but I gave up that afternoon because the M$ tax started to piss me off. Anyone have much luck not having to pay for windows outside of a pieced-together system?

There used to be offers here: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/thinkpad-laptops-with-dos.shtml looks to be nonexistant now though.

https://www.system76.com/ is pretty popular in some circles

It bothers me that s76 decided to stick nvidia in there, like to make sure that if you drop Ubuntu in favor of Debian or some other distro, you'll get annoyed with all the driver mess.
