   I seem to recall he said he bought from whatever company Dave Haynie is   
   working for now? Pretty sure, on the east coast, but can't provide any   
   more info. :-(   
      
   Maybe asking too much, but it just seems to me he should have gotten a   
   machine all ready to plug in and begin using!   
      
   But, my previous experience with Linux isn't too much different from   
   his. It was a couple of years ago though and I had hoped that things   
   were much improved by now.   
      
   As I recall I could at least get the desktop to appear but it was   
   'garbled'. That too was a case of no support for the video card. I did   
   manage to find an update but then couldn't figure out how to install   
   it.
