<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’m thinking of buying the “High-end business”
spec pc from Ascent (<a href="http://www.ascent.co.nz/PCBuild.aspx">http://www.ascent.co.nz/PCBuild.aspx</a>),
without the OS, of course. Does anyone have any comments on the compatibility
of the hardware components with Linux in general, and Debian in particular?
I’m also happy for recommendations of other suppliers, although I do like
Ascent and have dealt with them several times in the past.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
