    Re: Buying a new Ubuntu computer

    If you liked system76's computers, it may be possible to buy/build one. The Serval Performance I have is based on the compal FL92, which you can still buy. I really liked System76; they had great support and I love the computer. However, since you can't buy directly from them, you may still be able to use all the testing they've done to your advantage.
    Here's a place that sells the compal FL92: http://www.avadirect.com/product_det...asp?PRID=10446

    Pretty much everything works out of the box on these (as long as you choose the intel wireless).
    System 76 Serval Performance: 2.5 GHZ Core 2 Duo, 4 Gb RAM, Nvidia 8600M GT 512, Intel 4965 a/g/n wireless, built in webcam, Ubuntu 9.04 x86_64

    I noticed alot of companies that sell comps with buntu preinstalled seem to over charge for hardware. System 76, dell charges more for ubnutu machines than for windows for some reason.
