Blognitive Dissonance

I am interested in learning more about buying a “naked PC” desktop or computer, that is a laptop or desktop that does not come with a pre-installed operating system or other software. Have you purchased “naked PC” before? Where? How much did it cost?

I am hearing that Ubuntu works very well as an operating system, that OpenOffice works well for wordprocessing and other needs. I have been using Mozilla Firefox exclusively browsing for a long time. If such excellent software is available for free, I see no reason to pay for pre-installed software. Any thoughts on this out there?

Update: a friend suggested two links that might be helpful. They are here and here.
