Element Computer: ION Linux on Linux Hardware 274
JigSaw writes "Well known Lycoris person Jason Spisak left the company to join Element Computer, a new hardware company which now strives to offer the Apple experience on PCs: they sell Linux-certified modern hardware with their own flavor of Debian, ION Linux. ION is a desktop distro and it is developed specifically to work perfectly with the accompanied hardware. Other highlights include usage support (as opposed to installation-only support other distros provide) and system upgrades specific to the exact hardware the user runs. The KDE-based distro will only sell with their hardware as Mike Hjorleifsson says in his interview." (The company was previously mentioned on Slashdot.)

How many ironclad excuses are there for missing homework assignments???
Student: "Um... sorry. My floppy disintegrated."
Teacher: "That's okay. It happens to all of us."
I will mourn the passing of this vital source of excuses. Soon I'm going to have to buy a dog. (or a Windows box!)
