Re: [PLUG] FROM ORIGINAL PERENNIAL NEWIE

http://www.emperorlinux.com seems a little high on their prices, but you can 
call to use a different laptop for lower prices and the use 
IBM/DELL/Gateway/etc.  My favorite is http://www.penguincomputing.com where 
you can configure you machine online.  You can configure such things as: 
Computer name/hard drive partitions/what services you want enabled and 
disabled/processor/hard drive/memory/How you want the setup (Server, 
Workstation, Graphics, etc)/etc.  And you can see the price after you update 
it.  Seems worthwhile to check it out.
