I'm trying to buy non-MS netbooks for my school, but my usual suppliers (pasokon koubou, yamada denki, dell) are telling me I have to have J-windows.

Hello Nigel,

That is strange that Dell is telling you that, as I found the following press release:
http://www1.jp.dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/jp/segments/corp/pressoffice/2008/080905?c=jp&l=ja&s=corp

It appears they have been offering Ubuntu mini's since 2008/09/05. If I get a chance tomorrow, I might give a call and ask what's up.
Cheers,
Ivan
