[K12OSN] System76

[Timothy Hart]

The prices on system76 don't seem that crazy. Maybe I just haven't compared
enough, but looks pretty good to me. Built in camera, nVidia 256MB graphics,
non broadcom wireless. I didn't think I was crazy when I thought Dell wasn't
doing it yet. I did have a D610 running Mepis and a couple other distros.
Took me a while to get the wireless going but it worked eventually.

Paul, I have no problem with a company making a profit. Far from it. I just
like it when companies embrace open source as a business model. Yes, Dell is
"finally" getting on board. I don't want to get hosed on price, but it isn't
the only thing I am looking for. That is why I am wondering about what
others think.
