[ale] PC hardware dealer recommendations

[Frank]

Hello all,

Well I finally need to upgrade my tired and overworked Thinkpad 380D
laptop (155Mhz Pent, 48Mb ram and 2GB HD). With SuSE Linux I've been 
able to postpone this but now that I need to run StarOffice and Netscape 
6 the little-380D-that-could no longer can.

Does anyone have experience with any of the hardware vendors that
advertise in the "ComputerUser" magazine or any other source for that 
matter? I'm interested in one that's somewhat Linux savvy for building a 
desktop box and is reputable.

Thanks
Frank
