[ale] Place to buy desktop in Atlanta

[Beddingfield, Allen]

Oh, I was meaning demo systems built with the motherboards they have for sale (as opposed to  HP, Dell, etc...).

Duluth has desktops and laptops on demo.

I don't think they have any demo systems - (I've only been to the one in Marietta, the other one may).

Take live CD of what you want to run on. Put in a demo box until you find one that works. Buy that mobo.

I guess the best way to do this is to go to Microcenter, look at the mother boards, use smart phone to google Linux issues with the board I'm looking at, buy, and then replace what is in my original case.

Seems like you would be happier staying on LTS releases.
14.04 --> 16.04   for the 5 yrs of support. Stay on the .1 release
14.04.1 or 16.04.1 ... the others do not provide 5 yrs of support.

Avoid odd years and October releases.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
