I've given up on getting my hp pavilion with the combo audio/modem card to work on linux.
Which pc's are linux compatible out of the box?
I recommend Dell. I've received extremely good service on their
products,
and everything you can expect to work works. Just make sure to choose the non-integrated options on the Dimension L series or go for the slightly
more
expensive 4100 series. Not all of their components work in Linux, but most of their systems have available options to insure 100% Linux compatability.
I think you will also find feature-per-feature that Dell will generally
be
cheaper than any major competitor or even Mom 'n Pop shops.
Finally, for anyone considering a laptop - Dell's laptops work well in Linux too. :-)

What would Dell do if you re-loaded your box with SuSE? Would that void the warranty?

I know they wont support an OS they didn't preinstall but you should be able to add Suse without removing redhat and still get support. And you have to admit its pretty nice being able to call up someone at 3 in the morning to trouble shoot something on your system.

True, 24/7 support is nice :-). But its still annoying about having to have RH on the system...But its the same with VA and most others, the best you'd ever get is marginal support. When I worked 24/7 support from Demon, ack that sucked. Only got two types of people calling an ISP during the haunting hours: 1. Weirdo's 2. Web designers. Thats all I ever got then :-). Matt
