It was suggested that I contact System 76 about my backlight problem on
my old Gazelle laptop. I figured that they'd just blow me off, or send
me a polite "we don't support that anymore, BOZO".
But no -- I got a polite response with some suggestions showing some
genuine concern. They didn't _work_, but clearly those guys _care_, and
this for a laptop that's been out of warranty for far longer than it's
been in existence.
I've had good support experiences with these guys in the past, too, and
the laptop is about 65 in Laptop Years (I've owned it for more than
seven years, it's gotten knocked around quite a bit, pieces are falling
off the case, etc., -- and it still works just fine).
So if you want a decent machine that's known to work with Linux, and
you're too lazy to build one -- you could do a lot worse than going
through System 76.
