First time I've seen Ebuyer selling a product with Linux actually
preloaded.  Progress at last? :)

Julian

I have an emachines 1400 at home this is my current PC and this came
pre-loaded with linux from ebuyer,  so I think at the lower end of their
range they do sell Linux computers.

But as they don't sell mine any more its good to find something similar. :)

I have one of these little Revo's and they work great.

Mine came pre-installed with a version of Linux called "Linpus"

It's pretty basic so you'll want to do a clean install of your favourite Linux Distro.

I have used mine with Fedora, Linux Mint 12 and even tested the current Ubuntu 12.04 beta.

All work fine but you need to remember that there is no cd/dvd drive so installs have to be made via USB memory stick.
