I have been doing a little sniffing around on the Linuxbased-PC-market,
and have noticed an obsticle which complicates the selling of pre-
installed linuxPCs.

People using Windows just take what ever thrown to them by Microsoft, 
but Linux users don't just take any Linuxclone to their hart. Linux- 
people usualy have a purpose when they choose their OS. Some want Red
Hat, some Suse, some Knoppix and some Ubuntu-this or Ubuntu-that. This 
makes it very difficult to industrialize an unifyed standard pre-
installation routine, which produce CASH on the bottom line. Thats why
they don't.
