[nzlug] DSE Ubuntu pre-installed

[Johann Schoonees]

I take it we are talking about their product code XC5822.

Interesting that DSE provides "Claim instructions and details available 
at a Dick Smith store."

But Windows license costs aside, what is the general opinion of this 
notebook ("quite... old").  I'm quite tempted to make an impulsive 
purchase here for the sheer convenience of it :-)
