Only experienced user is able install eComStation on Core 2 Duo PC or notebook. If you have resources, please join this mission and become eComStation reseller. Here is the list of eComStation distributors, resellers and distributors of computers with eComStation pre-installed: official list -- http://ecomstation.com/where_purchase.phtml mirror list -- http://ecomstation.ru/solutions/?action=resellers What is eComStation PC? eComStation PC is a desktop/notebook with a non-standard case, with eComStation case badge, with eComStation pre-installed. Why eComStation PC still doesn't exist? not popular? * (OK, some distributors are selling PC with eComStation pre-installed, nevertheless..) * It's impossible open eComStation shop in every city. Users are living in different countries, different cities and districts. The size of eComStation community is not large. Users are going to the nearest computer shop and purchase hardware there. * The users always need specific hardware (manufactured by different companies, new fresh hardware). It's impossible make them purchase tested (old) hardware only. * Conclusion: it's impossible make users purchase eCS PC from eCS resellers only. eComStation resellers do not hasten to offer 2 or 3 models of eComStation PC. Why eComStation PC is so important? * User economizes time. All drivers and software is pre-installed. No troubles with LVM or ACPI. * Resellers will order service software, other special software from developers * User economizes money. PC + software is cheaper than separate components * It's very difficult make novice users purchase CD with eComStation. But it's easy sell them eComStation PC. How to support eComStation resellers and make them promote eComStation PC? * Support your local reseller. Buy hardware and software from the reseller again. Order a barebone or notebook from the reseller. * Promote your local reseller if he served you without problems in your local user group, forums. * Request system tools from the reseller -- Warpstock 2007 - Where? http://www.warpstock.org Warpstock Europe - http://www.warpstock.net [Moderator's note: All posts are sent without guarantee to the accuracy of the content.
