I miss Linux.
Call me Crazy, but I miss Linux. I didn't really realize it till today.
Some months ago, My employer bought me a MacBook, and, I _love_ it. Don't get me wrong. About the same time, my at home Desktop (an emachines that had-- seriously-- outlived its life expectancy by about 2 years) died of a broken flux capacitor, or something. I have been without Linux since.
Today, I spent a few more hours in the basement with the latest copy of Geubuntu, swapping out RAM and Drives between the three junker machines I have down there, and between the three of them, there is not a single usable/functional computer.
A. I've fired up my ancient xBuntu/FluxBox hybrid laptop-- a Dell Inspiron 3500, just to get me some linux on. and, I realize, I miss it.
Apple's got lots of nice choices for the Open Software enthusiast-- I prefer NeoOffice to Word, for example, but there's just something about the full-on customization that you can make happen on a linux machihe.
So, the question is this, Ubuntu Planet: Where do _you_ suggest turning to purchase hardware in the sub-$300 range. I want to buy, not build, and I just need a box. I have monitors and input devices. Suggestions?
