Dell will supply laptops without Windows installed, but you may have a struggle getting them to admit it. http://www.transtec.co.uk /used/ to supply Linux laptops but it looks like they have stopped doing this, but I can't check for certain as their site is running very slowly right now.
Really, are they still doing that.
I know they did for a while, then they buckled a bit under pressure from MS and started including (I think) FreeDOS as an alternative OS choice (MS said that supplying the units without an OS at all was promoting piracy)
Then I was pretty sure Dell buckled completely and now (with the exception of some server products) they were only offering desktop and laptop products with MS OEM licences.
