I'm sure that you could request Debian on VA box! Also from other vendor

there are and always will be issues.
as always stick to standard hardware for best results. avoid win*
stuff(modems especially), most oem systems should be mostly compadible
with exception of the modem 90% or so ship with a winmodem as standard,
most usually have a hardware modem as an option tho
Thanx to everyone who responded to my inquiry for advice on purchasing a
new computer. I'll do some more checking around, and definately keep
everything you all said in mind.
Thanx again!
