Desktop PCs with Linux or no OS installed

["Jerry Feldman-2" <user=4@nabble.blu.org>]

 I'm currently starting to evaluate getting a new desktop system. I 
currently have an older Compaq Presario with an Athalon 1.2Ghz 
32-bit processor.  I would prefer buying it from a vendor that supports 
OpenSource and Linux. Certainly I want a 64-bit processor with dual 
core and a decent 3D graphics chipset.  No preference on chip vendor 
(Intel or AMD). I would probably run either OpenSuSe 11.0 (which is 
what I now have) or Ubuntu, but Fedora is fine too. (I prefer using a 
different OS from the other BLU officers just for a different 
perspective and also for installfests). 

I'm looking for experience with vendors, such as 
MadTux, Penguin (our next speaker), Eight Virtues, etc. 

I certainly could build one from scratch, but the last one I did took 
me quite a long time and was more expensive than what I could buy 
retail.  I'll probably not make any decisions until August.
