   I have an Acer Aspire 3620 that came with Linux.  The Linux turned out to be something called Linpus Linux, and it was a minimal install with nothing more than a command line.  I am assuming I avoided the Microsoft tax, but otherwise, I had to install an appropriate, up to date Linux distribution.

   Are we talking Linux, as in a kernal, or GNU/Linux, as in a functioal desktop?
