@ Mr. Satyaakam,

Sorry, we could not share the store address. We are talking about ASUS
Exclusive store @ Nehru Place. You can ask Sales Person to supply Eee PC
Netbook with pre-installed Ubuntu, if it is not there. Here is the address.

Maybe I am wrong, but most of those "DOS" based comes with Ubuntu. It may
also be that I looked only at Dell.

Since there was no clue given about which store is The ASUS store , so i
tried my luck with at least three different places where the name of ASUS
was mentioned ,one of them prominently only dealt in ASUS so i presumed this
to be the  store Ubuntu folks have mentioned , this store  did not  have
Ubuntu based Netbooks at all also he tried to lure me into giving discounts
on Windows pieces and offered me some DOS based versions but No Ubuntu was
available with him, there were two other stores which had ASUS displayed
only one of them agreed and offered Ubuntu based Netbooks .

curiously found a Compaq desktop bundled with Red Flag Linux :-)

overall my experience not a good one like other Distro's in past so i will
let this case too for rest now.

Those based in Delhi, if you happen to go to  Nehru Place, do check out 
the Asus Store.. they have Ubuntu Demo.


My colleague Hardik did the setup for them.

Any constructive feedback would be useful..

Ubuntu is the most popular linux distro in India.
But this is not the level of popularity we should be satisfied with !
It should be talking like 10-20% of market share of OS, availability at
every nook and corner of the country  and ability to get installed and
supported  by an average hardware vendor in India.

Now dependency on internet and difficulty in learning curve to use solutions
like apt-on-cd makes it difficult.

well I know Ubuntu and I am well experienced in Advocacy also. I guess, I
