"Buying a ready to ship Linux machine" ... "Shipped with the Linux distribution & additional programs of your choice pre-installed. That can also be shipped customized to be a web server or personal computer." Sounds pretty good.

AwesomeTux, this is the second link to the the same info/greeting/advert page YOU have posted. Advertising is one thing, suckering people by passing it off as a news story is another.

I was wondering too, Azerthoth. The ServerWatch forums have a filter to catch all the bogus "Hey, what do you think of this exam prep|web host|etc" spams. It nukes a few dozen every week.

Just realized it, pulled it, no double posts baby!

There's no way of knowing what the price of the machines is short of placing an order, and then you have to wait for someone to get back to you, as there is no page displaying the price.

@TA, I have a personal rule when encountering situations like that, dont. You may end up finding out that your credit card is being used for all kinds of fun and interesting vacations that you never went on. Not saying that these folks are this way, just that I never trust a company that says we'll get back to you on that.

Sorry I let that slip through..
azerthoth ·
Just dont let it happen again Scott, or I'll saran wrap the top of your toilet bowl and break the light.

*grin*

Never as a victim :)
tracyanne ·
@azerthoth: there was never any danger of that happening, I never use real information.
AwesomeTux ·
@azerthoth How would they have your credit card information? You don't have to supply it. And a new GNU/Linux vendor is always news :)
AwesomeTux ·
@Scott_Ruecker As I can see, this is the only post to inatux.com on lxer.com. How could it be a "double post" or duplicate? It's not. It's a new vendor, never mentioned before.

It isn't a dupe now, because the second one (to which this thread is attached) was pulled.
AwesomeTux ·
@gus3 The second what? If anything should have been pulled, it should have been this thread.
azerthoth ·
Troll Call.
gus3 ·
Are trolls in season yet?
Scott_Ruecker ·
I looked and this particular posts and it is not a double. If you can find the double post part, I will be stood corrected.

Relax scott, it's a spam.
