We provide professional grade Linux laptop solutions to portable Linux users the world over. We are so confident in the quality of our systems that we regularly send review units out to the Linux press to have independent and un-biased reviews done, so that you may purchase with the assurance that all laptop hardware is supported under Linux as we claim it is.

Tony Steidler Dennison	Meteor MM10	Linux Journal		Tony called the Meteor the ultimate in portability.

These reviewers acquire systems just as you would. They call in to talk to a technical representative about their needs on both the software and hardware fronts. Just like a regular customer, they choose a laptop meeting their size and functionality needs, and have us install, configure, and test the Linux distribution of their choice. After the "sale", their support questions go into the same support queue as everyone else's. We recommend reviewers use our laptops as "daily drivers", by using them for all their Linux needs for several weeks. This way they can really get a feel for all the little extras we add to a Linux laptop that make all the difference in the end-user experience. When a reviewer is finished putting our systems and support to the test, about half of our review units are returned (we offer these units at a significant discount for the budget conscious). The other test units? We have found that many of our reviewers prefer to call in with a credit card and keep the system as their own.
