Are there any sources for desktop computers either sold or built in the Kansas City area that are designed to run Linux?
Many retail computers do come with the Linux kernel, but the Linux distribution is likely not what you want!
Most people install their own. Some distributions work on the latest computers and others have incomplete hardware drivers. Its a hit and miss.
If I remember right, I bought this Acer Aspire One from Microcenter with Linpus Linux, but promptly wiped it and installed Gentoo. Or was that the eeepc... I bought a few from Walmart that came with that crazy distribution of Linux too, but they all got a fresh CD install of another flavor of the day.
