Hello Everyone, Please forgive me for posting to this group but I am not a fortune 500 company with deep pockets. I simply wanted to introduce an idea to everyone that may give everyone even more freedom in the marketplace of computing.
I got to thinking sometime back. Would it be possible to have a community driven computer vendor? Being a long time Ubuntu user. I realized that with Ubuntu/Linux on the rise and at a point of everyday usability for anyone and without the need for licensing the community driven computer vendor was possible. So I decided to take an auction style approach with a spin and a focus of Ubuntu/Linux based complete and usuable systems and allow anyone or company to list there inventory. Keeping in the spirit of OpenSource and Ubuntu I decided to keep the site completely free with no site fees, store fees, or closing cost fees. Below is our definition of a community based computer vendor. 1. Anyone can list their inventory of GNU/Linux based computers on our auction style store. 2. Everyones system listed is preconfigured with a complete GNU/Linux desktop or server OS. 3. Placing and fulfilling custom order systems can be achieved using the wanted area of our site. 4. Together we can provide support for and find help through our community based support forums. 5. Our advertising, popularity and success depends on all of us, our support and the systems we offer. Needless to say Ourbuntu.com has not been officially launched yet we are looking for help, users and items listed before going forward with the press release. Please take some time and explore the site and let me know of any suggestions you may have. Better still would be to register and maybe list of few of your computers or maybe even buy one lol. Thanks for reading. your friend Ronnie Whisler Ourbuntu.com P.S. Don't worry I won't be posting here often and didn't mean to offend anyone.
