[Eug-lug] deal at Best Buy on Toshiba notebook $249

[Jason LaPier]

Yeah, you're paying extra for having a system come pre-installed with
Ubuntu and (supposedly) very good support. If you decide to get one,
there's a $25 code for Ubuntu Forums members (yes, it's a free forum,
and no, you don't even really have to be a forum member):

There's an entire section on the Ubuntu forums for System76:
http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=158
So I'd advise browsing it to get a feel for the level of support they
give (and maybe how happy their customers are).
