I am looking into buying a Packard Bell or Acer PC from Best Buy.
The attractiveness of these systems are their price and that
Best Buy will give 1 year free financing.

I am going to set up my system to run both DOS and Linux.  On the
Linux side I want to set up a web server and do a lot of code
development (i.e. C, C++, Perl, ...).

With my needs in mind, will the Packard Bell or the Acer prove
to be reliable.

I'm looking for the pros and cons on each of these systems and
any real life experiences dealing with Packard Bell, Acer and
Best Buy.

Thanks!

Mike
