One solution to the belief that “Linux is not ready for the main stream” are Linux certified products. Today, we will look the laptop angle. Enter the
LinuxCertified LC2430 Linux Laptop. This baby is nothing to sneeze at and is reasonably priced at $1699 USD.

“Lately there have been a fair amount of ‘Linux is not ready for the desktop’ articles around the web. There are complaints about the trouble of installing and configuring systems. One recurring comment is that there are a lack of pre-loaded systems available. LinuxCertified is one company that offers Linux pre-loaded on laptops, which have a reputation of being somewhat of a bear to install on. I was eager to see if LinuxCertified’s offering was ‘ready for the desktop (or laptop)’.”
