[TriLUG] New Vista laptop needs Linux

[Glenn Starling]

I have had good luck at several stores just asking the sales person helping 
me if I could "try" Ubuntu.  They said "yes" and watched me as I booted the 
live version.  I also indicated that it would not write anything to their 
hard disk.  I had already asked for their machine recommendation and they 
knew that I was going to put Linux on the machine if I bought it.
