List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: A few months back I purchased one from Pogo Linux http://www.pogolinux.com/ It had very good components, and with the latests version of Red Hat already installed and ready to go. Everything worked right out of the box. No configuration problems, no installation troubles. A few days before they shipped, I called and wanted to change my order to add another component. They not only added it, but shipped without waiting for my check. Very nice people to work with. Ron Anna Schneider wrote: > > Hi everyone.
