Still not getting my point? well I'm not talking of Mac being PowerPC only, but i'm talking of PowerPC are Mac only and not windows compatible!

This is a very very good idea. But please be very exigent in term of compatibility. Saying that a laptop is Linux compatible means that ALL its components are working (including webcam, card reader, ...). I say that because some "Linux laptop resellers" are very lazy in testing and they give certification as soon as processor is working...
Also, will you support localized Amazon sites like amazon.fr?

in my point of view intel isn't a alternativ becourse high prices and the igp VGAs are slow and pointless.
but intel supports opensource up to 100% LOL!
if opensource means self hurd right intel is the way to go pay highprices for an minimum opensource only support...
in my point of view amd will be much better in the future.
becourse you have the choice open and cloused source driver and specs.
intel has cloused source drivers to but only for macosX/windows
so intel is a joge for linux users.. linux users lose every 3D benchmark against macos only becourse intelshit drivers.
i think if intel brings the same cloused source driver to linux linux will win all benchmarks again macosX..
intel=highprices and a joge only for lose benchmarks its an marketing gag for macos...
i think apple pays intel for this!
Theres alot to think about if setting up a store. The idea of selling ati cards for open drivers is a moral disaster. Your supporting a company who is working on the backs of its users. Kind of defeats the purpose of it being open source. Im just saying its food for thought.
