|
There are quite a few choices for pre-installed systems. IBM, Compaq and
HP offer them, but being that they are IBM, Compaq, and HP they are more
expensive than off-brand choices. Some options:

offers linux on business desktops)

http://www.linuxmall.com/
Expect to pay about $700-$1100 for a solid pre-installed system. Another
route would be to talk to people who've bought off-the-shelf systems and
installed linux successfully on them. I've had no trouble with IBM
Aptiva, Dell Precision, or the Gateway E series desktops.
