When I asked them about it they said it had only been "tested" with the
"standard" Win 98/ME/2000/XP IE /Netscape stuff.

I told them that they should strongly consider "testing" it with Linux
as a growing number of technical people use and deploy Linux as their
operating system of choice.

Funny thing is I get the feeling that something in their scripts tests
what browser the client is using and dumps them if they are using Linux.

Out of curiosity in what situations is Ingrammicro good?

At the moment I buy a small amount of stock and build custom machines
now and then. Looking through their website I couldn't find anything I
really wanted.

I went bought some stock from DMA today and was pretty happy with that.
