[Staffslug] Linux laptop on Ebuyer.com

The following was on the Manchester LUG list. Thought it might be of interest, since Simon said that he'd like to be able to buy a laptop with Linux installed & working. Some notes of caution, though: - It doesn't say which distro it comes with - It's a pretty low-spec laptop, with no wi-fi - You can get MS Office with it, and save £3.52(!) by buying them together - The eSys web site doesn't seem to know anything about it, and the eBuyer site doesn't have any reviews Russ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Daniel Botting <zen78553(a)zen.co.uk&gt; Date: 17-Mar-2006 07:07 Subject: [man-lug] Linux laptop on Ebuyer.com To: man-lug(a)lists.manchester.ac.uk, linux-users(a)lists.manchester.ac.uk Dear all, Ebuyer are offering a Linux laptop for £334.87 incl VAT. Url as below: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN... Like normal it doesn't say which distro, but possibly like last time Mandrake on the cheap desktop they were offering, no reviews of the system as yet on the site. -- Dan <*> "Who do you serve, who do you trust" www.asib3edges.co.uk - my personal home page Take back the Web, Get Firefox! <http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=0&t=1> ---------------------------------------------- http://lists.manchester.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/man-lug ManLUG WWW Pages: http://www.manlug.mcc.ac.uk/
