https://minifree.org/ They use a free Ubuntu derivative (trisquel) so no problem with drivers. (nor windows tax). As per paying by check I am sure they accept it (looking at their thoughts on paypal). Do ask, they are a small UK based company and are quick to respond. good luck! -- -- Andres (he/him/his) Ham United Group Richmond Makerlabs -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
