[SLL] Who builds Linux systems locally?

[Derek Simkowiak]

    I also use NCC Computer for towers, workstations, and the like.  
They have excellent service, and they use brand-name components.  It's 
easy to buy a system with no O.S. from them,  thus avoiding the MS tax, 
and their prices are very reasonable.  They are in the Fred Meyer lot on 
44th in Lynnwood.

    But NCC doesn't know anything about Linux.  It'll be up to you to 
install your Linux O.S.

    For rackmount / data center hardware, I prefer Silicon Mechanics.
