Mission Statement:
Our goal is to liberate computer users with an
inexpensive service of installing a Free Software
operating system (such as GNU+Linux) on
every computer system we sell. We provide the same service that others
currently enjoy in other markets, which is: Most people don't install
operating systems themselves, they buy a computer
and it has what they want pre-installed. Why should this be
any different for Free Software users? Buying a new computer then installing
your favorite operating system, takes more time; especially if you don't
know how to install it. When you buy your new computer through InaTux, it's
quicker, easier and more convenient, because we make it all happen at once.
The operating system can be a pre-installed GNU+Linux distribution, BSD
variant, Haiku, OpenSolaris, and any other Free Software operating system.
And there is no need to worry, as we build our computers to be compatible with
the operating system, without sacrificing customization; choose between Personal
Computer, Gaming System or pre-built systems Ready To Ship. You're free to
adjust processor, hard drive, RAM, video, brands: AMD, ATI, Intel,
nVidia, VIA; even what software to have pre-installed, and more!
All GNU+Linux distributions we install have the latest stable
release of the operating system and all included software, unless
stated otherwise (example: Ubuntu x.04 LTS vs. Ubuntu x.10). You
may also specify versions in the "Programs" field.

Our payments are done through PayPal, you don't need a PayPal account to
pay, and you may use a credit card, with PayPal your information will be
safe, and the process will be easy!
Customizing Your System!
The process is easy! Simply choose your hardware via the
drop-down menus, then enter your name and email address in the "Name"
and "Email" fields, hit "Get Quote >" and we will email you a quote
on the price of the system within 24-28 hours. Only if you find the
price reasonable will we need any personal information like location
and credit card numbers.
Fully Free Software Compatible:

Our effort with Fully Free Software Systems:
We here at InaTux are proudly working in cooperation with the Free
Software Foundation to offer systems that come with free operating
systems pre-installed and fully compatible hardware. Starting with
gNewSense. And, we will also be donating a portion of our sales to the
Free Software Foundation, to further support Free Software.
When you buy a computer from us with one of these amazing free and
open source operating systems pre-installed, you don't have to research
any components or risk getting something wrong, it works, right when you
plug it in and boot it up. Remember, any additional programs can be
included, as long as they are free / open source software. If you're
familiar with Ubuntu, you'll be comfortable with gNewSense.
Free BIOS (Coreboot, etc.):
Our computers are not yet available with a Free BIOS, but we are very
interested in offering that option in the future. We can build systems
with Coreboot as the BIOS, but there will be some limitations as to
certain video cards (ATI for 3D), processors, motherboards, memory, WiFi,
and other areas as well. Please write us if you are interested.

About gNewSense:
gNewSense is a version of the GNU+Linux operating system designed for
those who wish to use personal computers while exclusively using Free
Software. gNewSense is based on Ubuntu and Debian. It tries to maintain
the user-friendliness but with all non-free/proprietary software and
non-free/binary blobs removed. It is listed by the Free Software Foundation
as a free operating system. With no proprietary "binary blobs", or non-free
drivers in the kernel.
And we build the system to be compatible with the hardware. gNewSense has
a rich graphical user interface, a full office suite, plus web browsers,
email management, instant messagers, calendars, and for developers the

GNU+Linux distribution out?
If so please feel free to suggest it, click here.
If it supports our typical hardware it will be included in the list. Also, if
we indeed did leave out the distribution of your choice, and this makes you
displeased with our service please mention so in your suggestion and we might
be able to work it out.

best with the selected hardware will be used, e.g. i386, x86_64, etc..
