Ask HN: Pre-installed Ubuntu Linux Workstation Vendors?
Can anyone recommend any UK based vendors (apart from Dell) who sell pre-installed Ubuntu Linux workstations? I'm looking to buy a couple for the office and don't want to have to go through the effort of sourcing supported parts to build the units myself.
- davidw 16y agoWhat's wrong with Dell? I've had pretty good luck with both the computers themselves and the service.
- dawson 16y agoNothing! I just can't find any reviews within the last 2 years. What did you buy and how have you got on?
- davidw 16y agoNot a workstation, but a laptop - I have a Latitude e6500, and it's worked fine over the last year. I had a previous one, which had a problem, which Dell fixed very quickly: http://journal.dedasys.com/2007/11/20/and-were-back-in-action http://journal.dedasys.com/2007/11/20/and-were-back-in-actio... And that was a US-purchased laptop in Innsbruck, Austria. Not bad at all.
- mooism2 16y agoI've bought machines with Debian and Red Hat (back in the day) preinstalled from http://dnuk.com http://dnuk.com and would buy from them again. I've never bought a machine with Ubuntu preinstalled from them, but they do give the option.
- dawson 16y agoLooks great and awesome configuration options. Thank you!
