BTW his PC is an Acer bought from DSE, the most linux friendly computer retailer in NZ.
Already asked this and no replies, so I'll try to get the ball rolling a little. I bought two Realtek NICs from DSE, because they are included with drivers for Linux. As it happens, Debian comes with enough drivers to run the cards, so I didn't have to compile the drivers that came with them.
Also there is the laptop without an OS. Do they also sell desktops without OS? What other product range would qualify?
Some of the stuff that they do sell is in a limited range. Ascent in Wellington will sell you a complete system without an OS, they have a wider product range with more choice of brands, and very competitive pricing.
