I did knock off the carrrying case though. You can go to Dell India > Support Home Page > Product Support > Choose by Service Tag navigation and enter your service tag and get what was hardware and softwares came preinstalled from Dell, prior to shipping. I noticed that UBUNTU was preinstalled by Dell. I got this same model (with 1 GB added RAM), with Ubuntu preinstalled for 30500/-. I did knock off the carrrying case though.

From that to linux is not a huge jump. @Carb0n It cost around 33K rs. About the OS fee, I'm not sure - I asked them for one without windows pre-installed and thats what they gave me. I did not ask the price difference. @Sathya
