It was suggested that I contact System 76 about my backlight problem on my old Gazelle laptop. I figured that they'd just blow me off, or send me a polite "we don't support that anymore, BOZO".
But no -- I got a polite response with some suggestions showing some genuine concern. They didn't _work_, but clearly those guys _care_, and this for a laptop that's been out of warranty for far longer than it's been in existence. I've had good support experiences with these guys in the past, too, and the laptop is about 65 in Laptop Years (I've owned it for more than seven years, it's gotten knocked around quite a bit, pieces are falling off the case, etc., -- and it still works just fine). So if you want a decent machine that's known to work with Linux, and you're too lazy to build one -- you could do a lot worse than going through System 76. http://www.system76.com. -- Tim Wescott www.wescottdesign.com Control & Communications systems, circuit & software design. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
