Re: [tlug] buy a Linux or OS-free laptop in Tokyo - High quality external DVD drives in nice price and distribution.

[Sotaro Kobayashi <sotarokob@example.com>]

Hi, TLUG,

Surely, since I was back Tokyo from Britain in May, I can not find any 
Linux preinstalled netbook here.
- like European model HP or EeePC.

Instead, I am aware that price and distribution of external DVD drives 
are great here.

http://www.yodobashi.com/ec/category/016002008/index.html?SearchFlag=1&PrintSize=50&SortType=1012&BrandCode=&SalesStock=1&SPA01-0000000251=0000000004&SalesStartDateY=&SalesStartDateM=&SalesEndDateY=&SalesEndDateM=&PriceFrom=&PriceTo=

I have installed Ubuntu on the IBM era Think Pad and using it now,
but I am planning to buy a HP or EeePC netbook with an external DVD 
drive at reasonable price and quality now.

Regards,

Sotaro@example.com
