As I understand it Dale started Efficient PC as a small side business, and grew from there. We should be helping these people to get Ubuntu out there.

If so, I build PCs (and servers) with Ubuntu on them via my own business although I don't have a general set specification. If someone requests it I'll install it, I will also recommend Linux solutions based on what the customer wants (if they want a games machine I'd suggest Windows, if they want a general every day PC to browse the internet, play media and download videos I'd suggest Ubuntu over Windows, unless they really want to pay an extra £60 for Vista Home).

[ubuntu-uk] UK Ubuntu Vendors
Hey, I'm trying to create a list of vendors who sell Ubuntu on machines (whether desktops, notebooks or netbooks) in the UK so as to make it easier for us to help people who want to buy Ubuntu pre-configured machines. So far I've covered Dell, Efficient PC, and the Linux Emporium. You can see the Work-In-Progress Wiki page here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/Vendors Although all of the vendors sell a lot more machines I've only counted the ones which ship with Ubuntu (and listed the version). I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone else can help complete the list. Either add the data onto the Wiki page yourself or link me to the vendor's website and I'll check out the details and add it for you. Thanks for your time.
