“Are you looking to buy a shiny new Linux workstation but would
really prefer to get some support along with it? As weird as it may
sound, not everyone likes to go through the “hassle” of building
their own system. This is where a company like Pogo Linux comes in.
Their business is building high-quality, reliable boxes that are
either totally Linux or dual boot Windows and Linux. In this
review, we take a look at Pogo Linux’s Athlon XP-based workstation,
the Altura…

“The performance of the system was not quite as good as we hoped
but with a little work at compiling a custom kernel, we feel this
could be rectified. The system is very well built and was
completely stable throughout all of our tests.”om a cost
standpoint, Pogo probably has very little competition anywhere.
This is a lot of system for a little amount of dough plus they do
all of the testing for Linux compatibility so you don’t have to go
through that frustration.”
