Speaking of *nix, I have a question.  Where is somewhere that I can
purchase a value PC (doesn't have to be new) to get some exposure to
linux?  I've gone to the Dell, HP, Gateway, MicronPC, CDW, etc. sites and
chosen the 'configure' option, only to be faced with the OS option of
Windows XP Home or Professional.  Where's my Redhat, SuSE, or Mandrake
option?  I could build my own, but would rather just purchase a pre-built
system.  Please feel free to offer recommendations.

Thanks,
