Personally, I tell people to either buy a Dell, or have a good
technician(such as myself) custom build a computer for them. Dell has been
known for using good quality hardware and their service and support is
probably the best(but not without flaws). Everyone of these people were
relatively new users. Some of these users have since set their computer up
to dual-boot with Linux. Unfortunately, this good hardware will be paired
with upcomming version of that other OS, and I'll be in quite a quandry on
what to recommend. Guess I'll be building more boxes for people.
