The DELL Vostro 1015 is offered with: English Genuine Windows 7 Professional (32 BIT) with Recovery DVD English Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (32 BIT) with Recovery DVD in the UK, whilst in the US DELL offer: Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic, 32bit Service Pack 2 Ubuntu version 10.04 Caffeine MLK Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium, 32bit Genuine Windows 7 Professional, 32bit The US site also offers a broader range of CPUs but otherwise the spec is identical. You can probably use the US site to establish compatibility, but I think probably better to either call them and ask (so they get the hint) and then use a vendor who will install and support GNU/Linux if you can find one. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
