http://nakedcomputers.org For people who like to say "No Thanks!" to proprietary operating systems Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:32:40 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 http://nakedcomputers.org/emperor-linux/ http://nakedcomputers.org/emperor-linux/#comments Wed, 13 May 2009 19:54:06 +0000 Alan Bell http://nakedcomputers.org/?p=110 Emperor Linux supply a wide range of laptops including military grade rugged laptops. All come with Linux pre-installed and a custom kernel to ensure all the hardware is fully supported. They will pre-install a range of distros, but sadly no nakedness at the moment.

They also provide turnkey Beowulf clusters. No stark naked option so just an honourable mention for now.

No stark nakedness at the moment so just an honourable mention.

As well as components they sell complete kits to build with nothing more than a screwdriver and a range of pre-built systems. Sadly the pre-built systems come with a non-removable boat anchor of a proprietary operating system. As the kits are not pre-built retail units only an Honourable Mention can be awarded at this time.
