I found some places which sell computers in the US that have Ubuntu preloaded but not in the UK. Can you buy computers with Ubuntu preloaded in the UK? Thank you!

Linux Emporium is one of the oldest linux hardware suppliers I think.
Dell probably sells a netbook with Ubuntu too (but you might have to look on their "business site" to find it).
And I'm sure there are also several small shops that will sell you computers with Ubuntu on request.
Here is all the places the company ZaReason ships to: http://zareason.com/shop/International.html
They sell Linux OS on hardware and gear. I have never tried one of their machines however I have only heard positive things through reputation.
DELL sells Ubuntu preloaded computers in UK also. Check this url:
To ensure the availability in other countries, you may check this url:
If you could't find your country in the list on above url it doesn't mean that Ubuntu preloaded systems are not available in your country. For example I bought my lap from India and obviously it is preloaded with Ubuntu.

Dell is no longer selling Ubuntu PCs online, but they may be available if you phone them.– 8128Feb 13, 2012 at 7:53
Have a look on Amazon.co.uk for computers and laptops with Ubuntu pre installed.
Also check out uMi computers website is www.umipc.com for preinstalled computers and laptops.
What abou DELL? Don't they retail in UK or did they discontinue Linux preloaded already? ASUS EEEPC netbooks also come with a Linux installer last time I heard but not sure if it was Ubuntu they were using.

The question was regarding computers preloaded with Ubuntu. These computers are not loaded with Ubuntu.– dv3500eaOct 30, 2010 at 18:59

Of course DELL sells Ubuntu preloaded in many countries, maybe not yet in the UK. That exactly was the message of Marky's answer. IMO no reason for down-voting.– TakkatOct 30, 2010 at 19:35

The Eee PC comes preinstalled with Xandros linux. Also, I have neither upvoted you nor downvoted you.– dv3500eaOct 30, 2010 at 23:26

Oh yes - the Xandros issue. This is a highly customized Debian based Linux adapted for eeePC by Asus. Asus-Xandros is not supported by Xandros Inc..– TakkatOct 31, 2010 at 5:51
