FSF works with Los Alamos Computers to provide free computers
,----[ Quote ]
| Sullivan first heard about LAC when FSF supporters suggested linking to the
| company on the hardware list. The FSF had been interested in pre-loaded free
| systems ever since Dell started offering Ubuntu on some systems last year,
| and was even considering offering its own custom systems, but decided that
| working with an existing manufacturer was "a better option. We want to gt
| these machines in at a lot of places," Sullivan says.
|
| The only problem was that, although LAC had almost eight years' experience
| selling computers pre-installed with GNU/Linux, "at that time they weren't
| quite selling free systems," Sullivan explains. "So I wrote to them asking if
| they would be interested in taking a few additional steps by providing a page
| on their site that would emphasize freedom by using the GNU name and provide
| fully free systems. They'd been thinking of doing that for a while, and our
| call was the motivation they needed to get things going."
