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.
Off late, Acer laptops do not detect the LAN card directly in Linux and the driver has to be manually loaded. This is quite a pain as it has to be downloaded on another pc and transferred manually before running the compile process.
