If you buy a PC with Windows pre-installed, some retailers will refund the license cost if you refuse to accept the first-time boot up when you have to accept the Windows License terms. It is worth checking. Also, we set up a website recently called Naked Computers (http://nakedcomputers.org/) where you can find retailers who will sell you a PC "in the buff" as it were. Many will also sell machines with Linux pre-installed too. Al -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
