Could, do or you could ask if a certaih PC runs linux, and just happen
to have a live cd to hand to insert and find out, after asking,  as in
lets find out shall we.

If you were in a position to make a purchase but refuse to buy unless it
runs Linux properly,  in the current climate and to make a sale they may
let you,  it may however be worth doing some homework first,  going in
or several people going in over a period of time and seeing which staff
are Linux aware and know what they are talking about,  then go in and
ask them,

you may find they are more co-operative.
