I purchased a PC from DSE for that reason alone...unfortunately they seem to have canned selling the machine, since very few people took the opportunity to buy one.
According to the manager in the Columbo St. shop the difficulty is the combination of availability of supply of a suitable machine with a pre-loaded Linux and the price thereof. He gave me the distinct impression that me that more machines are somewhere in the pipeline.
A more upgradeable system would be better, since a machine with only 2 PCI slots and no AGP is limited in todays computer...
The advertising was also misleading, since DSE claimed the Terminator had 3D hardware acceleration under Linux...the mobo mounted S3 Savage4 graphics chip certainly doesn't, which is why they gave me a free GF2 to keep me quiet...I gratefully accepted it and shat up!<?> ;-)
Kind regards,

PS. I'm tidying up some small POVray scenes, so will email them by end of weekend hopefully... :-)
