Is it possible to buy a Laptop with Linux already installed on it?

I'm planning to get myself a new laptop.

But the problem is, wherever I look on online stores, each laptop comes with the damn Vista insalled on it, which simply adds to the price a.k.a. lost money, since I won't be using the Vista but will install Linux anyway. So , this , kinda pisses me off. They charge at least 100 EUR more for the Vista.

So, I was wondering if there'd be any online stores that offer computers with Linux already installed.. if you know any, please, share with me

www.dell.com - they have received lots of publicity recently for preinstalling Ubuntu on their machines. See also www.emperorlinux.com

thanks a ton, sir. Dell has anything I need, even a configurable system and they have reasonable prices. Even, they ship to Belgium. Thank you, again!
