2TB 7200RPM Drive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIt took a little over 2 weeks from placing my order until the machine arrived, which is about what they estimated and purchase time. It came in an understated System76 box which contained the computer, a power cord, some spare screws, some System76 stickers, and a thank you card.\u00a0 The computer was a lot lighter than I was expecting. The power cord was a little shorter than I’m used to, but it wasn’t a big deal. I plugged in a network, monitor, keyboard, and mouse and then booted up.<\/p>\n
Setup was a breeze. It simply asked me for my name, a username, a password, a machine name and geographic location, just like a regular Ubuntu installation would. Then I logged and all looked good. There was one problem – the extra hard drive I ordered wasn’t mapped or formatted. It’s quite possible this was on purpose, as many Linux users like to choose their own file formats and mount locations. I quickly formatted the drive and mounted it to where I wanted, and then everything else was good to go.<\/p>\n
The computer is blazing fast. I’ve had no lag in doing anything, and so I am extremely happy.<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n I am quite happy with my purchase. I’ve already added a 4 port gigabyte network card and some more storage meant for my video surveillance system. I’m also already creating VMs to my heart’s content. This computer is definitely more than I need, but tomorrow who knows? That’s why I like to buy excess power today. I think this can last me for the next 7 years!<\/p>\n
If you’re looking for a Linux laptop, desktop or server, I highly recommend you give System76 a try.<\/p>\n
