Or Promox, or SWT, just to name a couple of other VARS that sell Linux
systems (including laptops). 

There are quite a lot of Linux system vendors these days; see
<http://www.hex.net/~cbbrowne/linux.html"> for a pretty exhaustive list.

The Linux VAR HOWTO at
<http://www.redhat.com/linux-info/ldp/HOWTO/VAR-HOWTO.html> has a
similar (but smaller) list of potential vendors to choose from. 

A Linux system vendor will have already researched the issues and would
probably provide out-of-the-packing-box an already-running XFree86
installation.
