The December 2007 Linux Journal's Laptop Buying Guide failed to mention System 76. Are there any thoughts as to why?

Because they are small potatoes. And they are not the panacea of linux and computers.

Well maybe world wide but in the US they've got an ok market in terms of linux desktops. (as sad as that sounds) I mean what could they possibly have fixxed that list with, Dell's single laptop?

get either a refurb thinkjpad or a basic new thinkpad. Load Mint on there and it all works out fo the box! and you have a mucher higher quality laptop for the price. I have seen R52 Thinkpads for as low as $419 - load Mint and you are good as Gold! no ********...
