Any GNU/Linux friendly hardware shops out there?


I'm looking to purcahse a small, warranty-included development box for some software development. Nothing fancy but good service and good hardware selection is vital. www.penguincomputing.com is a tad expensive (as there boxes are a little to hardcore for my purposes). Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Check around your home town for small companies which do custom computer builds. You can find very good buys as reasonable prices. Most probably concentrate on MSwindows boxes, but you might find some which do Linux boxes as well.

If you're in the US, try www.sub300.com and Canada www.sub500.com or in Toronto, in person at 2930 DUFFERIN
TORONTO, ONTARIO <---------unabashedly ripped from their website. They sell inexpensive computers with Linux on them. The default is Linspire, but they'll put any distro you want on them.
