This is the place where you can describe your experience with desktops. It is not a hot topic like laptops, but entering your data can help others. Whatever is working or not working you can put here. Select vendor and add to the list on the next page.

Don't be shy to enter comments and tips for old hardware, as many new users installed first Linux on some old box, just to see how it looks.
