   Hi! Alexander,   
      
   On 28 Jan 16 21:31, you wrote to me:

   Yes, it's in the specifications for the model.  However at the retail point   
   it's an option, one that I chose not to accept.  OTOH, one option I did choose   
   was to have Ubuntu Linux pre-loaded and we saved a further 80-odd dollars.  :)   
      
   That was back in 2009.  When a 2010 upgrade to a follow-on Ubuntu version   
   failed, I installed a copy of Puppy Linux on it though I usually use a USB   
   boot stick (which has options for doing the same on another four PCs).  I   
   should say that booting machines with Puppy via a USB drive is a natural act,   
   for which it was designed.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
