Hello Guido:<BR>
<BR>
I think it is preferable to open a new discussion for this subject.<BR>

Like many of us, I went through the same nightmare and started a
collection of hardware vendors who sell either without any software or
even with Free Software preinstalled:

Great and useful list, but I think it will be much better if we help to update it. Regarding the two vendors in your list having Spain (ES) as country:<BR>
<BR>
- Gnuinos (<A HREF="http://www.gnuinos.com/):">http://www.gnuinos.com/):</A> At this moment, at least in the website, they are offering only two (2) computers models (desktop/tower) without OS. No netbooks, no laptops, no barebones. But two is more than nothing.<BR>
- Tuxbrain (<A HREF="https://www.tuxbrain.net/):">https://www.tuxbrain.net/):</A> In 07/05/2012 they decided to stop selling, as they say in their blog: http://www.tuxbrain.com/content/estamos-de-liquidaci%C3%B3n-total-barato-barato-aka-tuxbrains-reborn<BR>
<BR>
I've found also a link that does not work for me: <BR>
<BR>
- Ahtec (<A HREF="http://www.ahtec.nl/):">http://www.ahtec.nl/):</A> Does not work from my computer.<BR>
<BR>
In the other hand, you can add some more Spanish vendors:<BR>
<BR>
- Ahtec (<A HREF="http://www.ahteconline.com/):">http://www.ahteconline.com/):</A> Sells laptops and desktops that can be bought without OS.<BR>
- Azken Muga (<A HREF="http://www.azkenmuga.es/):">http://www.azkenmuga.es/):</A> Workstations and mobile workstations with Linux.<BR>
- Imavisions (<A HREF="http://www.imavisions.com/;">http://www.imavisions.com/;</A> http://portatilesconlinux.com/): Sells laptops with Linux (but it seems the site is not updated since September 2012).<BR>
- Linux Ocasion (<A HREF="http://www.linuxocasion.net/):">http://www.linuxocasion.net/):</A> Servers and some workstations (mainly second hand) with Linux.<BR>
- Linux Store (<A HREF="http://www.linuxstore.es/):">http://www.linuxstore.es/):</A> Desktops (and one laptop) without OS or with Linux.<BR>
- Mountain (<A HREF="http://www.mountain.es/):">http://www.mountain.es/):</A> Desktops, workstations, servers and laptops without OS or with Linux.<BR>

I think we should support these companies by buying from them.

I agree,... but I'd like to be able to buy a laptop without OS in any computers shop.
