[Linux-aus] hardware

[Kanchana Wickremasinghe]

Hi John,

Sometime back we had a similar need. Unfortunately we couldn't find a 
supplier who would pre-install LINUX. Therefore we had to get the 
hardware ourselves and install LINUX on it. We used MSI hardware, and 
did purchase directly from Taiwan. Unfortunately they too have stopped 
supplying them directly to customers. I am not sure who they have 
appointed as the distributors in Australia. Their hardware is pretty 
good, some of them we sent to Canada and they are still using them after 
several years running 24 x 7.

I remember Cybersource folks doing similar project and might be worth 
asking them where they got the hardware.

Good luck and all the best.

kindest regards,
Kanchana
