Hello!
I'm Nathan and I have fallen in love with Slackware. I use it on my Toshiba 166mhz laptop. Old but works great. I'm in school for network admin, and I am focusing on Unix/Linux, as it is the greatest after all That kind of leads me into my question. Is there a place to buy a Slackware computer, preinstalled and ready to go? Kind of a "turn-key" system?

Great finding this place!

Nathan

1) Welcome to LQ
2) Good to have another Slacker
- BUT -
3) There is an introduction forum for these types of posts - it's a subforum of General and is called LinuxQuestions.org Member Intro.
4) What about the forum title "Website Suggestions & Feedback" makes you post this topic here? Even the description...5) There'a a whole directory here with manufacturers of machines with preloaded Linux[es] (sic?) that you might wanna check out. Hope it helps.
6) Thread reported to be moved

Moved: This thread is more suitable in Slackware and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

Make sure you don't pay extra for having Slackware installed. You can do it yourself in a few hours and you'll learn a lot.

I guess I posted "from the hip" and put it in the wrong thread. Thanks for moving it. I'm looking around at those sites now, thanks!

If you are in school to learn network admin, then the best way to learn and be way ahead of your cohort group in terms of experience is to see if you can find an old second hand computer, some RJ45 (I think you need twisted for just 2 machines), install Slackware on both and discover the joys of administrating your very own 2 machine network. Ensure that you have nothing mission critical on them and that they are not connected to the Net (that way you have sandboxed your network, making it safe from crackers) and just play around.
I have never heard of pre-installed Slack machines: it's hard enough finding any GNU/Linux system pre-installed on a machine actually. So, rescue an old box, ask around at school, ask your parents or family to keep a look out for you for an old machine and crank it up: best learning experience out there!!

Oh yes - plenty of help here and elsewhere to do your own installation.

Good luck
