I can add that when searching for Linux powered laptops here I found that several stores (not the big elec. chains stores IIRC) sell linux powered Acer laptops. These laptops, and I suspect that the desktop as well, have Linpus on them. They also, probably, contain some binary drivers from Acer, which isn't open source nor can I be sure they're install-able on other linux distros easily.

Eventually, since I want to have as hassle-free Linux OS as I can (I don't miss my Gentoo days... :-), I installed Ubuntu on an Acer laptop (thankfully, almost all HW is supported on it, to a workable degree) and they (we) all live(d) happily ever after.

Boaz.

papers I pleasantly surprised that Shekem Electric is selling
Acer desktops with Linux installed.
