Linux Preinstalled

Having to learn to install Linux, to partition hard drives and to set everything up, keeps a lot of people from ever giving Linux an honest shot. My first real experience with Linux came with a computer I bought that came with Linux preinstalled. I still use the computer, but I didn't stay with the the distro that it came with (Linspire).

A Linux Preinstalled computer makes it a lot easier to step right in and use Linux right away. It's the best way to really compare things to a Windows computer, which typically come with the operating system installed.

Here are some web pages that'll help you find computers that come with Linux preinstalled:

A few Google searches can help you out, as well.
