Where to Buy a Preinstalled Linux Desktop/Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| The hardest part of using Linux is often installing it. Over the last couple
| of years, Linux has come a long way in terms of hardware support, and these
| days it is relatively rare that an installation of ubuntu/fedora will be
| lacking any drivers for your machine. However, installing any OS can still
| sometimes be a tedious task and one that scares the wits out of the average
| computer user. And, for the expert users out there, it’s just more fun to buy
| a computer with Linux already on it and not have to pay the Microsoft tax -
| even, if you are going to put your favorite distro on it anyway. You can
| find Linux servers sold all sort of places, but where can you find Linux
| desktops for sale? Here is a list...

System 76: Making pre-installed Linux hardware a reality
,----[ Quote ]
| But why does a company (based in Denver, CO) decide to bring Linux hardware
| to life? System 76 was founded in November 2005 with the intent on bringing
| Linux-powered hardware to the public. Many companies have wanted to do this,
| some have even tried, many have failed. System 76 is a different animal all
| together. With the foundation System 76 has laid, and the hardware they are
| producing, they should handily succeed. Why? Simple: When a consumer
| purchases a piece of hardware, say a laptop, from System 76 what they get
| from them works…and works well. The laptops System 76 puts together are as
| smooth as any Apple laptop and as user-friendly as any Windows laptop. So
| finally a Linux-based hardware company is finally delivering what
| Windows-based hardware vendors have for years.

Preloaded Linux. Simply Excellence
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm happy to report that so far, I've had really positive
| feedback from everyone. These people are just happy using
| their computer as it should be: a tool to get things done.
| They appreciate not having to worry about things like
| viruses, malware & spyware.
|
| I met one of them today. They've been using their machine
| for about a month now and I asked how things were going. I
| got a very interesting response. Everything was good but
| they had been looking for their machine online and couldn't
| find it. They could only find the Windows version.
|
| I asked if I could help and they said another friend of
| theirs wanted the exact same machine
