There are a lot of comments about the closing of the shop Hettes. I'm one of guys that were running the shop and I will explain something. ( in bad English, sorry )
We have search for manufacturers of desktops and laptops to buy without OS and after 3 years, we stop trying. We have spoken with Lenovo, HP and Fujitsu and they say it is not possible, they close the door. Other manufacturers didn't even replay on a e-mail. Okay, we had contact with BTO but the systems they make will not supported for 100% by Ubuntu, because most items have a double videocard or some of chip that is a problem.
We believe that Linux systems is much better than Windows for proxily 80% of all desktop and laptop users, so we start a shop with systems includes a Linux OS. BUT! The OS must be easy in use for starters with Linux, that is one of the groundrules by selling hardware.
We want to test, we didn't get the change;
We want to buy without Windows, forget it;
Okay, we want to send the Licence back, don't think about that;
We want to work with manufacturers for the best userexperience, dont think about that either.

So, that's not making sell laptops any easier.
Thank you for all the support.
