I purchased my first all linux box from Pogo Linux online. They had great hardware, preinstalled linux and lots of options. For me one of the best parts was their technical support, they helped me with some linux problems in no time. I never had any hardware problems but a friend here who did got the replacement hardware overnight. They offered a new machine, but he'd already customized linux a bit and didn't want to begin over. http://www.pogolinux.com/ Ron Michael Weaver wrote: > > Hi! > At the moment, I have both a desktop and laptop computers.
