@ "When you get everything, pull the hard drives out of the computer and replace them with the lank hard drives you bought. Then you probably will have a platform on which linux can be installed." That will still leave you with the barrier of the UEFI settings if you want to install from DVD. This can be substantial. I still have two laptops awaiting some expertise I have not found on the web to bypass this barrier. There are quite a few places that sell computers with Linux pre-installed. See e.g., this list: <https://linuxpreloaded.com/> Best regards, Paul -- [Notice not included in the above original message: The U.S. National Security Agency neither confirms nor denies that it intercepted this message.] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
