Not to mention nextenta, an opensolaris OS with GNU tools, it's essentially a GNU/Solaris system. http://www.gnusolaris.org there is even a specialist opensolaris laptop group if you go that route.
I wonder if they sell laptops or desktops with pre-installed Unix/Linux just like how they sell laptops with pre-installed MS Windows or Mac OS.

I've heard that they sell blank laptops with no OS installed, so that people can install whatever OS they want.

OCTAVE(1)                                                     General Commands Manual                                                    OCTAVE(1)

NAME

       octave - A high-level interactive language for numerical computations.

SYNOPSIS

       octave [options]... [file]

DESCRIPTION

       Octave  is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations.  It provides a convenient command line interface for solv-
       ing linear and nonlinear problems numerically.

OPTIONS

       The complete set of command-line options for octave is available by running the following command from the shell.

           octave --help

DOCUMENTATION

       The primary documentation for Octave is written using Texinfo, the GNU documentation system, which allows the same source files to be  used
       to produce on-line and printed versions of the manual.

       You can read the on-line copy of the Octave documentation by issuing the following command from within octave.

           octave:1> doc

       The  Info  files may also be read with a stand-alone program such as info or xinfo.  HTML, Postscript, or PDF versions of the documentation
       are installed on many systems as well.

BUGS

       The Octave project maintains a bug tracker at http://bugs.octave.org.  Before submitting  a  new  item  please  read  the  instructions  at
       http://www.octave.org/bugs.html on how to submit a useful report.

FILES

       Upon startup Octave looks for four initialization files.  Each file may contain any number of valid Octave commands.

       octave-home/share/octave/site/m/startup/octaverc
              Site-wide  initialization file which changes options for all users.  octave-home is the directory where Octave was installed such as
              /usr/local.

       octave-home/share/octave/version/m/startup/octaverc
              Site-wide initialization file for Octave version version.

       ~/.octaverc
              User's personal initialization file.

       .octaverc
              Project-specific initialization file located in the current directory.
