For the vendor idea, maybe vendors should give the option to configure
systems with a dual-boot option -- or at least give a CD with a simple
Linux distro, with step-by-step instructions on how to get it up and
running...

As to how many vendors will actually want to do this, that is another
matter...

Cheers,

Angelo Dalli

p.s. I am quite amused at the amount of traffic a single post has
generated :-)
