Hi guys. Im after some advice if anyone knows a ready made pc, or the components to make a cheap as possible Linux machine with 100% or near enough compatibility.

I want to learn Linux but I don't want to dual boot on my current machine, ive just built it, and installed ubuntu 6.10 and hardly anything worked at all. Mouse worked for all of 10 seconds each time, no sound, display issues, crashing etc. My new pc is all high end so im guessing its a driver/compatibility issue.

I have spent the last few hours searching/googling but didnt find any reliable info.

I would like to spend about £300 max (not inc monitor, or any other peripherals). Something like this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-037-OK

but open to advice

Cheers in advance :)
 
Thanks for the replies guys.

Am thinking about a mac mini and try to get it to dual boot with mac osx and ubuntu...not sure if it will work but then I could try Linux and Max OSx as I've never learnt either.
