Aspire 5542 comes with Linpux Linux preloaded and is about Rs. 3500 less than it's cousin with Win7. You can remove and install any one of the distros released recently.
I have talked with a few Dell marketing guys and they claim that their Vostro line comes with Ubuntu pre-installed.
Contact me offlist if you are interested.
