[BadVista Advocate] GNU/Linux Hardware Configurations

[Don Hensley]

Well, that is what I do; build 100% GNU/Linux systems: http://donhensley.com 

Unfortunately I am not even a small company, I'm a "Just me" company. I'm just 
a retired guy that does this strictly by referral and then only with people I 
can directly interface with. I just do not have the time (or health) to try 
to do support any other way. 

But find a LUG in your area, and ask if some one will build you a system. You 
will find lots of people that can do it and many that would be pleased to 
make a buck or two.

But best of all, you would meet some really nice helpful people that way, and 
discover a great support system. Join a LUG today.

And Dell is making noise about a "Linux" pre load, but it will be very 
unlikely to be a 100% Free Software system.

Mandriva sells pre loaded computers, unfortunately also not 100% Free 
software.

Don.

I am aware of that list, thanks.  While that does help when shopping for
components to build your own system, I think it would be very useful to know
if there are any "off-the-shelf" systems that the big (or small) hardware
vendors sell, that would work with 100% free software - this would help
those that cannot build their own systems.
