Dell is selling these now:

But they come with "FreeDOS" which is, what exactly? So I look it up and see that it is MS-DOS compatible. No one wants that! Maybe they have agreements with Microsoft that prevented them from selling Notebooks with Linux on them.

What we really need are Linux drivers for the notebooks. Right? I can't see how FreeDOS helps us.
