I bought a computer from ibexpc.com with RH9 pre-installed, and it's
working nicely. I don't do a lot of cutting-edge multimedia, though,
so dunno about that area. Also, I bought a monitor separately and it
wasn't auto-detected (no big deal once I figured out what to hand-edit
in /etc/X11/XF86Config). Mail-order monitors == higher freight charges
and risk of breakage in transit.
