Element Computer: ION Linux on Linux Hardware

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.)

Ok, never mind. I admit it, I flubbed. He was saying that only the DIY software is not supported. The OS still is. Mentioning the warranty was what threw me. It made it sound like they simply wouldn't support your system any more.
