From: friedman@starbase.trincoll.edu (Mark A. Friedman) Subject: Gateway 2000 486DX2-66V vs. Zeos 486DX2-66 VESA Local Bus System? Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1993 04:38:53 GMT
I've narrowed the choice of what system I will buy on which to run
Linux to two and now wish to make a final decision between the Gateway
2000 486DX2-66V and the Zeos 486DX2-66 VESA Local Bus System. The
systems seem comparable in terms of performance, features and cost in
terms of my needs and budget. I will be buying only a system unit
(i.e. motherboard, processor, memory, etc. within a tower case) and
hard disk but no monitor nor graphics card from one of these two
vendors.
I want to base my final decision on the overall quality of systems put
together by the two vendors, in particular, how well these two
specific machines are built, how well and how reliably Linux has been known
----------------------------------------------
to perform on each of the machines and in addition take into account the
==================================
reputation of each vendor in terms of service and support.
I would appreciate any comments, praise or grief from Linux users who
have chosen these machines. I plan to summerize that which I receive
together with a promised summary of a previous post early next week.
