Re: [PLUG] FROM ORIGINAL PERENNIAL NEWIE


Have you tried http://www.pogolinux.com, http://www.penguincomputing.com, or http://www.emperorlinux.com?

They all sell preconfigured PCs with Linux. I am not sure, but I think the Alien computers also come with Linux.

If you really want Linux pre-installed on a Dell and are willing to buy
a server-class machine:
http://www.dell.com/us/en/biz/topics/linux_linuxhome.htm

Perhaps a business-class HP?  (Didn't they merge with Compaq?)

Or if it's okay that it comes with no OS and Linux works well on it:

Note that the modem problem has been solved:
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=02/05/02/1514240&mode=thread&tid=7

If you find a small vendor selling systems preinstalled with Linux, you
can cross-check them at <http://www.resellerratings.com> and see what
other people think of them.

I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point.  Help any?
