Here's a good place to start checking, though I didn't see Alienware,
specifically. Is that the correct model name?

Dell has such an awful reputation both for custom service and Linux.

We are in the process of opening a "computer consulting business" here,
and I'm interested in a few thin clients. I haven't really looked at
this thing yet, except a photo from someone's email. The web page needs
a plugin, and I just started configuring a Slack-13.1 last night. Will
have a look at this fit-PC2 later today.
