The Linux Laptop Company is your source for
professional grade
Linux
laptops.
We provide laptops with full hardware support under
Linux.
We sell to a wide range of clients, ranging from worldwide
corporations all the way to everyday personal Linux desktop users.
Open Source
Why is everyone switching to Linux? Two words... "Open Source"
Open source is publicly shared intellectual property. When it comes to Linux, every aspect of your computer's source code
is available to the general public and does not have licensing restrictions that limit
use, modification, or redistribution. Linux is the most popular example of an open source technology. This innovative way of
using a computer is far superior to commercialized operating systems because of the Linux community.
For much of the last decade, this type of freedom has only been available to the
technically advanced. Recently, the Linux community has reached the point where this exciting Operating System
is being made available to everyone. Now, we're taking it a step further, and making Linux mobile.
SECURITY
Linux is the
most secure operating system on the market, and with open source
applications, you don't have to pay license fees to some big corporation.
Our laptops are shipped with built in free security updates for life, and the assurance that
you're important data has never been more secure with Linux.
STAYING POWER
When you purchase a Linux laptop, you generally want to get 4-6 years
of
service from the machine. You should therefore buy from a company that
has
proven staying power. In a market where other vendors come and go, you
need to
select a laptop provider that has healthily weathered the storms of the
dot-com
bust and has the tenacity and commitment to be here for you for the long
haul.
We have been here for the entire history of the Linux laptop concept, and
we
are
its' future.
EXPERTISE
Our company owner, Erik M Soroka,
has over ten years of experience in a wide range of Linux based
organizations. As
a result, he has hand picked a team of Linux experts to manage this
company. Most
have
been using Linux from its very earliest days (Slackware in 1993). Besides
being skilled in every aspect of system administration and provisioning,
our staff knows exactly what our customers want. The reason for this, is
we are all Linux users ourself. After realizing how difficult it was to
find a decent customizable Linux notebook, we decided to make our own.
Our Linux wizards are at your service before and after the sale.
FREEDOM OF CHOICE
The Linux Laptop Company approaches the question of what you need in a Linux laptop
with more flexibility than any other vendor. You choose the type of
machine, OS, and features that you want. You can even specify your own
partitions, and software that you wish to be installed and configured on
your own personal linux laptop.
SAVE TIME - FULL SUPPORT
The Linux Laptop Company offers the only "out-of-the-box" Linux laptop
experience.
Yes, many of our customers have installed their own Linux laptops in
the
past. They come to us to save the time and frustration. Even Linux
experts
can spend weeks getting a modern laptop to play nice with Linux.
The Linux Laptop Company
systems have full hardware support under Linux
and are ready to use
out-of-the-box. For our customers, the value of their saved time
significantly
outweighs the cost of our service.
KNOWLEDGE & TESTING
Our KnowledgeBase has technical information on nearly every laptop made
since 1999. We have collected these laptops' lspci output and maintain a
list
of hardware compatibility tests for each system. Each system we ship is
put
through these tests to ensure complete support for your hardware.
INDEPENDENT REVIEW
We are so confident in the quality of our
products,
our installs, and our support that we regularly send our laptops to the
Linux
press for independent review. Our reviews
have
always come back strongly positive. Our customers also provide
constant feedback about the quality of our
products, and how pleased they are with their new notebook.
This gives you assurance that our products, service, and support are as
good as
we say.
QUALITY HARDWARE
Our systems are based on brand-name laptops.
When it is time to spend thousands of dollars on a Linux laptop,
you
want a machine made of quality components and backed up by name-brand
warranty
coverage. Since we use only the highest quality systems from
Dell, you are assured of a system that will
stand up to your demands for years to come.
WARRANTY ASSURANCE
Our OEMs know we install Linux, and we have
their
blessing. Some are looking at the possibility of installing it
themself, however, none of which will have the experience and
knowlege that we put into each and every system we ship out.
Because we install linux on quality brand name notebooks, you have the
full manufacturers' hardware warranty when you purchase any system from The
Linux Laptop Company.
