I am in the process of gearing up toward buying a new computer, and I 
would like to get something with some flavor of Linux pre-installed, on 
which I can then add eCS 2. Knowledgeable Linux persons have suggested the 
following two vendors: 

http://www.system76.com 
http://zareason.com

Are their systems compatible with eCS? (Mostly low/lowish-end desktops, 
but I could consider a laptop if it wasn't too expensive.) What should I 
look for or avoid in terms of things like video/sound, CD/DVD (at least CD 
burner and DVD player), etc? My ancient Dell is slowly losing its wits, so 
I do not intend to recycle any of its hardware.

Thanks,

Pierre
