To be honest it's not that good a spec now, a Celeron 3.2GHz is getting long in the tooth (Aria are selling them off at about £20 a piece, a Pentium Dual Core would be a better option at about £20 more) and it's old technology, you should really aim for a dual core CPU nowadays and 1GB memory as a minimum. A decent supplier should be able to do this at a good price. I've heard that Novatech sell PCs without operating systems bundled. I've never personally bought anything from them but I do know that they have been around a fair few years (at least probably about 10 years). Other than that, I hate to say it but there's always Dell. Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
