[H-GEN] Linux computer manufacturer

[Florent Angly]

Thanks Russel, Sandra, Greg, Carl and David for your replies.
I'll have a look at the links you gave me. I'd like to support companies 
that promote GNU/Linux and don't make me pay the Microsoft tax, even if 
is ends up being a little more expensive.
Cheers,
Florent
