I am putting together a list of companies that sell pre-installed Linux and no-OS computers. It is aimed at the LOWER PRICED Desktops and Laptops. Think consumer product, Desktops (Workstations) for less than $1000, Laptops (Notebooks) for less than $2000. I got fed up with the major computer OEMs spamming Linux sites with "that other operating system" so I created this list. The goal is to make it EASIER for "+" beginners (and advanced users) to find the computer they need. Please add to my list. Extra points if the Linux machines are easy to find with pricing and if there is an online store. Recent Linux versions please. The company doesn't count if they advertise Linux, then spam you with MS Windows. This is my list so far (updated 10/10/2006). Computers with preinstalled Linux: "+" means beginner friendly Linux usually comes with thousands of free programs, (often with Desktops the monitor is NOT included). http://www.alvio.com/ Desktops
