Top 5 things we'd all love to see from System76

,----[ Quote ]
| # A Tablet
| The new netbook looks great, but still a tablet would be an incredible
| addition to the lineup. Currently, the only tablets available with Ubuntu
| pre-installed are un/re-branded machines which knocks the price up, and
| although the CrunchPad looks sweet, something from System76 with Ubuntu would
| be even sweeter! Tablets are a great thing to show off which not only
| promotes Ubuntu but also kills the myth that Linux does not love tablets. It
| does.

System76 Refreshes, Expands Ubuntu Netbook and Desktop Lineup

,----[ Quote ]
| Back in July, System76 said it was having trouble keeping up with Ubuntu
| netbook demand. And more recently, another Ubuntu PC specialist told me they
| plan to introduce an Ubuntu netbook (potentially in August 2009) to fulfill
| growing customer inquiries.

Review of the System76 Starling Netbook

,----[ Quote ]
| I wanted a netbook for traveling. I plan to use it primarily for checking
| e-mail, browsing the Internet, writing documents, listening to music and
| watching movies. I may also at some point use it as an e-book reader and
| podcast player.
|
| I'm a moderately competent user of computers. I have a little -- but not
| much -- experience with 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.
