Another U.S. Ubuntu Distributor

I honestly don't know how this company actually rates, but I just saw their link when I was getting to the Ubuntu Forums, and thought I'd check it out. It is called Eight Virtues, and they sell desktop towers with Ubuntu pre-installed, and they say it is customized so you shouldn't have to reconfigure anything, which to me sounds like they have it setup where the user won't have to figure out how to make the DVD player play commercial movies on DVD. Also they only sell the towers, they recommend the purchase of monitors, mice, and keyboards from other places.

I don't know about their support and warranties (although they have what look like decent options) so that is really a big question. Although for the most part it looks like one would only have to pay for shipping back to them.

So this company out of Georgia (USA), joins Dell and System76 in offering pre-installed Ubuntu systems. I'm really glad to see it catching on.
