Review: System76 Pangolin Performance laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| If you are a new-to-Linux user and you just want something that works, this
| laptop is for you. If you do a lot of typing and you need a keyboard with
| well spaced and laid-out keys, this laptop is for you. If you need something
| with some power, but not something that will blow out your budget or burn
| down your house, this laptop is for you. If you are new to linux, a Linux
| guru, or anything in between, this laptop is for you. This particular laptop
| is perfectly in line for home use or business use. Either way you will get
| your money’s worth with this machine.

Update on Miserware Beta - Power Saving on Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| It’s well over a week now since I started using the Miserware MicroMiser
| software. I have it installed on all the Ubuntu PCs we have at home and on
| two laptops too. I have noticed no adverse effects from running the software.
| In fact you really do forget it is there. (The Micromiser software is
| packaged and available for easy install on Debian and it’s many derivatives,
| Fedora, RHEL, and SLES too so you are not limited to just Ubuntu’s Linux)

System76 Serval Professional Notebook
,----[ Quote ]
| Finding a laptop that can run Linux is no longer much of a challenge. As we
| have shared in numerous netbook and notebook reviews, a majority off the
| shelf PCs shipping with Windows can easily be replaced with Linux and chances
| are most -- if not all -- of the components will "just work" on this
| open-source operating system, while ill-supported parts can usually be
| configured to work in just a few steps. For those looking to save time or
| avoid a potential headache, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and other major vendors
| have been offering Linux notebooks for some time now. One of the smaller
| vendors though that has been offering Ubuntu Linux notebooks (along with
| desktops and servers) is System76 Inc. This Colorado-based company not only
| ensures their hardware is 100% compatible with Ubuntu Linux, but they also
| preload some popular software packages that are not installed by default on
| Ubuntu. In this review we are looking at the System76 Serval Professional
| notebook.
|
| [...]
|
| If you don't mind paying more for a notebook that ships with Ubuntu and is
| guaranteed to run nicely with Linux -- along with supporting a vendor that is
| centered around the Linux ecosystem -- the System76 Serval Professional is a
| notebook worth considering for your next purchase.

| biometric fingerprint reader for security.
