If you are anywhere near Abbey Road, Park Royal, 3A Distribution are
trade only importers and distributors who sell components so you can choose
your own. Their website only shows what they import themselves, phone them
and ask, mention GLLUG/Linux. I have a very comprehensive Fujitsu-Siemens P4
3.6GHz dual thread m/b which happily loads Debian 32 and 64 bit, Intel
chipset with Broadcom Gigabit ethernet and just about everything needed on
the motherboard apart from cooling fan, memory, PSU, and drives.

Microsoft sells you Windows ... Linux gives you the whole house.
