I have heard in the past that you cannot buy a dell with only linux on it....they have some special deal with MS that says every PC they sell MUST have some version of windows. They will install linux only as a duel boot. Not sure if that is still true...anyone know for sure? --- Gary Hanley <gary@hanley.net> wrote:

Short of building your own, I would recommend these guys also. I haven't bought one there myself but I know people who have and were happy.
Of course, I would recommend almost anyone but Dell. :-)
Why not Dell?
Because Dell doesn't do AMD and AMD64 is ruling the price/performance ratios at all levels against Intel right now and for the foreseeable future.
Plus, they are an underdog...and we like underdogs!
