Hi, where can I buy Linuxstamp so I can start learning Linux stuff? Can't seem to find it on Digikey. Thanks. -- User talk:155.104.37.18

Digikey sells most of the parts necessary to build a Linuxstamp. There are many PCB Manufacturers who can fab the raw Linux Stamp board.

I'll ask Paul about making a completely assembled, tested version available.

By the way, if you want to "learn Linux stuff", a better way to start is to use a LiveCD in almost any desktop computer. It will boot off the CD and let you test-drive Linux. When you're done, eject the CD and reboot and the system will be back the way it was before. Ubuntu has a nice LiveCD. There are also many other Linux LiveCDs. --DavidCary 22:30, 7 December 2007 (PST)
