“Oh, and by the way, as far as I can tell there is no
way to get an IdeaPad with SLED on it through the standard ordering
system. Thanks Lenovo, thanks a lot.“As for Asus, it’s not really there fault. There’s a pure OEM
(original equipment manufacturer). You can’t just call them up or
go to their Web site and order one of their Linux-powered Eee
netbooks. You have to find a retailer that carried their netbooks
with Linux. Good luck with that.“In my experience, for example, the only Asus with Linux you’ll
find at a Best Buy store are the ones with the 7″ screens. The ones
with the bigger screens? The more desirable ones? They always have
XP Home.”
