While interesting, the thought occurs to me that I don't think I would trust a $500 notebook if it came without an OS and I had to load one myself. Neither Wal-Mart nor Linspire have stunning records when it comes to customer service. A negative experience with a cheap laptop that happens to be running Linux will equate to a negative experience with Linux for most people. Would one perhaps be better off spending more money to get a product with decent performance and better support?
