You have some choices: 1) Find a vendor offering to sell a machine with Linux preinstalled. At times in the past, IIRC, both HP and Dell used to do this. 2) Call up a sales guy from your preferred vendor and ask to purchase a bare machine without OS. If they refuse to sell you one, choose another vendor. 3) Buy a machine with the base Win 7 Home installed, decline the license, and request a refund. Be prepared to waste significant time on this, but it can be done.
