Opinions on Linux OEMs? 8

asks: "I'm in the market for buying
a new computer and I want a machine with
Linux and have it properly configured.
I'm thinking about buying a computer from
either Penguin Computing or VAresearch but
I've not seen any reviews on them. Has
anybody had problems with them? How easy
are they to deal with? Are there other
companies which preload linux I should
consider looking into?" Whoa! A whole
barrel full of questions? Anyone care to
answer?
VAResearch did OK by me (Score:1)

i've never actually purchased from them yet, but they have given back to the community through booth sponsorships and such. they are geared alot more to the home power-user than varesearch(which i thought would be more appealing to slapdashers) which focuses for the most part on businesses. They sell alpha workstations at reasonable prices too. I definately recommend at least having a look at their website(which even looks nice), as they seem like the perfect solution to having to pay inexorbiant amounts for a preconfigured linux box.
My only gripe is that they don't sell AMD based systems, oh well my next computer will be from them anyway
