Default Preloaded Linux Hard Drives?

I've heard of Seagate's Lindows preloaded drives, does anyone else have any preloaded NON-WINDOWS drives?

After dealing with it and then playing with Jennifer's RH 7.2, Windows blows. I want rid of it. But, with all the problems we're having with internet and such, I'm stuck with buy it, or scrounge.

Since I already need a new hard drive, I was wondering if any other distros were prepackaged...

Nope, only Lindows on Seagate drives. Go to a local computer store, I'm sure someone behind the desk has their own personal downloaded discs of Mandrake or RedHat that they'll lend you or charge a minimal fee for. Ohh yah, if you have an ATI videocard, SuSE will you give nightmares trying to get it to load so you can install the RPM.

Mandrake, and Redhat dont' seem to have a problem with ATI til you can get the official modules (they call drivers modules in Linux speak). When I load SuSE it just goes black. SuSE chokes on ATI videocards.

ADD: If you are software overclocked, your screwed in terms of you'll lose your overclock.

It doesn't take to much graphic power to play Tux Racer.
