    Well I guess it's been a couple of good day for XoticPC, as I've also submitted my order with them today :)

    1x SAGER NP9262 Ultimate Custom Laptop
    - Display: 17" WUXGA "Glare Type" Super Clear (1920x1200)
    - Processor: ~Intel Core 2 QUAD Q9450 2.6GHz
    - Video Card: 512MB PCI-Express nVidia GeForce
    - Ram: ~ 8,192MB DDR2 667 (2 SODIMMS) D
    - Primary Hard Drive: ~ 320GB 7200RPM (Serial-ATA II 300)
    - Secondary Hard Drive: ~ 500GB 5400RPM (Serial-ATA II 300)
    - Third Hard Drive: ~ 320GB 7200RPM (Serial-ATA II 300)
    - Operating System: None Standard - Drivers & Utilities
    - Software Bundle (Not Installed): None Standard
    - Warranty: Sager 2 Year Parts & Labor Warraty
    [edited to remove all standard config lines]

    Looking forward to running Linux on this system. I will also make a Linux review and dump all the dmidecode & lspci & lsusb stuff.

    Because this will be my work system, I wasn't looking for a over the top graphic card, I'm more interested in the CPU, Memory and the disk subsystem.

    Regards,
    Erik

    Sorry Ogg, I'm a long time Red Hat users, since 1998 (Red Hat 5.2). I don't need to switch to Ubuntu to get a Linux system working :)

    Quad seems popular these days. 8GB ram and three HDD. Nice laptop. A beast :)

    Red Hat?

    I'd prefer Debian/GNU, Slackware, or Gentoo.
