hello world and a few questions
Hi evribode
Hi ! glad to meet all of you's
i am a happy dell user (pro and private use) with a laptop (antique X300, extra tuned) and two optiplex
gx 260 custom'd too (i heard some laughters) running under debian sid "sidux" kde 4.2 and kde 3.5.10
questions :
i look for a recent laptop oled screen, robust, sold with no microsoft software nor s.e.
i only intend to use my personal selection of software running under my personal choice of linux,
for both pro's and private destinations. Do anybody know about how to deal with Dell for this kind
of matter ? I sent a msg to commercials but............. feel very conscious of unusualness of it
Thanks for helping. I'd be glad to answer questions.

There are a few models available in the US with either FreeDos or Ubuntu (for example THESE models), but since I'm not a Linux user, the Linux forum here would probably be a better place to ask. If by chance you're not in the US, you might want to say what country you're in - the options do vary from country to country:

Thanks Alexandra_P for replying
i live in france
i did not found much on the linux forum
in fact i'd better check if paying for microsoft S.E.
would not be the cheapest way ... Of course, if i pay for something i don't use
is not fair but how to get rid of that ??????????????
cheeze !

Sorry the Linux forum couldn't help you out.
If Dell France can't give you what you want, I know there are several smaller companies in the US that sell open-source PCs (like THIS one). There must be similar companies in Europe. But I don't know if they'd truly be cheaper or not.

Dell doesn't sell any notebooks with OLED screens - for that matter, I don't think anyone is shipping OLED notebooks at all, though a few have demo'd them (Samsung, ASUS) and Apple is rumored to be releasing one sometime in the near future.
