Another 61 pence will secure you a somewhat faster machine with Ubuntu already installed.

CCL Online
Monday, May 11th, 2009CCL Online have a wide range of computers sold to home, education and business. Look for the (No OS) models. They lose some naked credibility with this line though: “Please Note: This PC will not function unless an Operating System (OS) is purchased.”. Oh yes it will. I didn’t see any naked laptops, do comment if you find one.
