  I'm considering the WalMart SuSE system too. I'm a developer
though and after reviewing the SuSE site, I'd like to have the
Professional version installed. I'm considering the upgrade
package from SuSE. I'd probably want to add a PCMCIA slot
to the Microtel system after I got it.

  I'm still doing my research. This computer will probably be
purchased off the shelf -- my first after 7 home built OS/2 systems.
What other off the shelf suppliers are there?
