My desktop computer has gone wrong. On starting it, I get a brief view of the usual text etc, then the screen goes blank. Holding down F2 is supposed to enter a set-up procedure, but all I get is a short bleep and a blank screen.
I think the main board has failed. The machine is now about 7 years old, so probably due for replacement anyway. Where could I get a computer with Debian and KDE (if that is still available)? I would not be connecting this to the internet, and in any case, my connection would not be good enough for downloading a complete system. Hence the requirement for a system already set up and ready to run. The existing machine was made by DNUK, I think they changed their name and may well have vanished. I have just found out that a local repair/construct place, Portswood Computers, has closed down. Internet searches produced some links, but they either don't work or lead to Windows dealers. So, where can Linux machines be obtained these days? I would be grateful for any advice.
