Yeah, you're paying extra for having a system come pre-installed with Ubuntu and (supposedly) very good support. If you decide to get one, there's a $25 code for Ubuntu Forums members (yes, it's a free forum, and no, you don't even really have to be a forum member): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=231459
There's an entire section on the Ubuntu forums for System76: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=158 So I'd advise browsing it to get a feel for the level of support they give (and maybe how happy their customers are). - Jason > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mr O > Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 9:01 AM > To: Eugene Unix and Gnu/Linux User Group > Subject: Re: [Eug-lug] deal at Best Buy on Toshiba notebook $249 > > It's just a whitebook.
