Shekem Electric selling desktops with Linux

[Boaz Rymland]

I can add that when searching for Linux powered laptops here I found 
that several stores (not the big elec. chains stores IIRC) sell linux 
powered Acer laptops. These laptops, and I suspect that the desktop as 
well, have Linpus on them. They also, probably, contain some binary 
drivers from Acer, which isn't open source nor can I be sure they're 
install-able on other linux distros easily.

Eventually, since I want to have as hassle-free Linux OS as I can (I 
don't miss my Gentoo days... :-), I installed Ubuntu on an Acer laptop 
(thankfully, almost all HW is supported on it, to a workable degree) and 
they (we) all live(d) happily ever after.

Boaz.
