Within the last month, the our local airport has had WI-FI Installed throughout the building here in Moline, Illinois (www.qcairport.com). I doubt its addition will raise any fees for anyone. Mediacom, our local cable company/Hi-speed cable provider, has big signs posted around saying "Free WI-FI Provided by Mediacom Online" so, one can assume that the airport may actually be making money or at least getting it for free by providing advertising space for Mediacom and Mediacom providing free internet access.
Yes, TuxTops stopped production, but QLITech bought their laptops and even their customers who were under warranty. They are located in Moline, Illinois. Yes, right here in the Midwest.

They sell servers, home/home office, multimedia, and laptop systems. Most offer your choice of intel or AMD processors and your choice of pre-configured Distro.
I feel that this article was not very accurate, or for some reason chose NOT to include QLITech. The link to www.tuxtops.com even explains that QLITech took over their entire laptop business.
They have great support and for pre-configured Linux systems, they are a great choice. The owners also actively support and attend the local QCLUG (Quad Cities Linux Users Group).
Visit their site, pick up a machine, or two;-)
Just my 2 cents
Damn, why do people have to be so stupid?

Come on... Why the hell can't we ever have nice things??? :-)
Well, Google is great, but it was just a matter of time before someone decided it was time to F6ck with it...
That's just foolish. It's a formula for going out of business. If it was a workable buisness model, VA Software would still be VA Linux.
Take a look at QLITech.com. They are a Linux systems seller, and they are doing well. Though many, besides those in the KNOW, have heard of them. They sell custom Linux systems, as well as Linux Laptops...
Linux is a workable business model, and they have proven it. They cater to anyone who desires to be free of M$ Windows, or just using a better Software base (GNU/Linux).
This looks absolutely great.... Apple/Jobs has done it this time... What can you do on a PC that cant be done on a MAC? Not much. The looks alone of this will attract PC users... (Come on... Look at the Colored Schemes of the past and present... The damn Red Compaqs? Too bright for me...)
On a side note, am I the only one who remembered reading something about this months ago? http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/39/19486.html Yes, quite conjectual at the time, but not far off the actual mark..
I have to commend Medicom for keeping their service going strong. Besides the afformentioned DNS problems(Was over night and back by 9am CST), there has been zero interruption of service... Lets hope that they can work out a deal with Excite@Home, or it may be back to dialup for quite a number of people....

WHY? I mean, come on... If you want two processors, shouldnt you have 2 processors in the systems???
