“Overall, the parts selected for the Vorticon
Workstation are of extremely high caliber and resemble the choice
of a PC enthusiast. As I’ve stated before, many of the parts used
in the Vorticon are used in our everyday test computer. Such as the
Sound Blaster Live Value and VisionTek Geforce3 Ti 200, which may
not necessarily be the best, but have proved to be highly reliable.

I believe one of the main features of the Vorticon is the two
year warranty. Having a warranty always brings the peace of mind
that if your computer has a problem, then there is always someone
to back it up. You could this obtain from a local Best Buy, but the
quality of service you receive from a chain store is usually much
lower than a smaller company like Pogo Linux. But Pogo Linux is
also large enough for you to be assured that they aren’t going to
go out of business the day after you buy a computer from them.

Another main aspect Pogo Linux offers that differs greatly from
many other companies such as Hewlett Packard of Compaq, is the
option to have Red Hat Linux setup on the computer as a default.
Many times attempting to create a dual boot computer can become
seriously complicated and ultimately end in a reformatted hard
drive. Windows XP especially adds a few complications to the
process and can be a daunting task to someone new to installing
Linux.”
