All laptops and desktops are assembled at our US facility. This means taxes are not included in the prices shown. The taxes depend on the final destination of the goods rather than where the order was assembled. Orders going outside the US will therefore have any local taxes collected on delivery.

OpenSUSE 13.1, RHEL 7, CentOS 7 (3d yes, requires kernel upgrade for touchpad), Debian 7 (requires kernel upgrade for touchpad and still no 3d), and similar distributions based on an older software stack may not have 3d acceleration support until newer releases are out, and may require a kernel upgrade to resolve touchpad issues. Brightness keys can be supported on older versions with a tweak of the GRUB configuration file.

Trisquel 7 is supported out of the box.
