Reviving a thread from 3 years ago..., because I'm finally about to buy a new laptop, again...:
Brian, Do you do, or have you considered doing, anything in the way of whitebox laptops with straight-up Linux installs (i.e. no Microsoft overhead)? Maybe by way of a strategic partnership with another company like ZaReason or such? e.g.: they handle R&D, you showcase and sell it (optionally (co-)installing Windows, if people want it, I guess)? Anyone else running a business that sells Linux computers, feel free to jump in, too :) Brian Chabot <br...@datasquire.net> writes: > > Joshua Judson Rosen wrote: > > > `Open Systems FTW'? > > > > So..., I just recently heard about these guys: > > > > http://www.system76.com/ > > > > Anyone here have experience with, or opinions of, them? > > > > Nope. > > But I do have (intimate you might say) experience with a *local* > provider of Linux systems.... > > There's Just Works in Nashua - http://www.justworksnh.com - which sells > Mandriva based desktops and dual-boot laptops and netbooks. > > Triple boot on the netbooks if you want - Mandriva Linux, WinXP, and Moblin. > > I just thought I'd mention it, 'cause you know...
