Hello, http://www.encryptec.net do a workstation, and we also do server solutions - full SME computer systems (Thin Client or Fat Client) based around Ubuntu. Redundancy/level of network integration as required. (I must declare a personal interest here though: I work for Encryptec).

Best of luck in your new job. There are, of course, suppliers of computers who sell them without pre-installed systems. Perhaps one of those could be interested.

There are a couple in the States, but I don't know of any in the UK doing Linux desktop - (perhaps there's a business opportunity in that somewhere!) - I'm sure someone will know somewhere though! What are you off to do then Matt? - You going self-employed like LoudMouthMan or have you found yourself a company to work for.

[ubuntu-uk] Buying from and supporting Linux Hardware Suppliers
Hi all, I'm about to start a job in the real-world (after having been forced to use Windows, I get to sell, support and consult on Linux from the 2nd July!) and one of the things I will need as part of my job is a solid supplier of hardware that I know will run linux and run it well. As dell are refusing to sell Linux-based computers outside of the US (even the redhat/SLED servers seem to only be sold over there), can someone supply me with contact details (a website will do nicely!) of a company that are preferably based in the UK and supply servers/desktops that will run linux or come pre-installed with Linux?
