I think we are getting close, but we're not quite there yet. The problem with 
the current arrangement is that it still excludes systems that ship with 
another distro or a free OS like FreeDOS.

I believe we should rename the current "Notebooks Without Operating System" 
page to "Community Friendly Notebooks". This is a positive-sounding name that 
does not portray us as being against anything. We can modify the structure as 
follows:

* Introduction
* Retailers Who Will Supply Notebooks Without Operating System
* Retailers Who Will Supply Notebooks With a Free Operating System
  (this includes retailers who ship with another distro or FreeDOS)
* Retailers Who Will NOT Supply Notebooks Without Proprietary Operating System

At the end of all this, we will have two pages: one that is specifically 
pro-Ubuntu, and one that is supportive of the free software community in 
general.
