Posted October 15, 200519 yr For the first computer that I'm going to own personally, I want to go the 100% free route in terms of software (Fedora with GNOME). Since I am stuck with satellite internet, I don't need much more than a barebones PC - just need to browse the internet, send email, be on IRC, write the occasional school assignment, etc. So, does anyone know a good online vendor that sells fully put together PC's with no OS (Windows)?

(fedora/redhat has a graphical fdisk tool in the installer iirc) If it's cheaper to get a PC with a Windoze OS on it already, I'd go that route then install linux on it instead.
