System76 is finally a Linux company that I wouldn't mind pointing, say, my
Mom to to buy a computer.
If nothing else, they have a nice-looking website. That's all the average
consumer is going to see, initially. System76 has a website that says,
"this is a real computer you are about to buy, built and supported by a
professional computer company". As opposed to those less-professional
looking, "mom and pop" PC stores that sell Linux.
Compare, for example, these two product lists:
System 76

Alpha PC Store
http://store.alphapcstore.com/oplisy.html
Sorry, but it is true: Linux needs better marketing to become commercially
successful in the mass market.
