Recently, “Fed up with Windows? Had enough of Apple? Grab yourself a slice of history with this HP laptop. The first manufacturer installed Ubuntu machine available from a UK retailer.” consumers in UK have been offered GNU/Linux by eBuyer on a notebook by HP. eBuyer offers several machines with GNU/Linux. Under the “laptop” category, you can find, “OS Provided / Edition
- Google Chrome (8)
- No Operating System (1)
- Ubuntu (1)”
It’s about time. This shows M$ may have delayed GNU/Linux on the desktop when it stifled netbooks but FLOSS is just too good an idea to die.

Who cares? They have 3 million registered customers. That’s the same order of magnitude as a big box store.
…very interesting….
but not on shelf. ebuyer on-line only and not have shelf at all. just tiny storage space for add. definitely one linux laptop for sale there, though. of course about 250 windows laptop also available there for sale. 0.4% of business nothing to sneeze at for linux though. good job.
Chromebooks are sweet, no more malware and are easy to refresh!
