I always simply build my own and install the OS myself. That way, I have 
complete and total control over every aspect. It's remarkably easy, relatively 
inexpensive, has no proprietary hardware, and I know what's in it. Simply pick 
a CPU flavor you like, buy a motherboard that supports the CPU, buy a case and 
power supply, get a graphics card that does what you want, plug in memory, get 
a hard disk that's far bigger than you think you'll ever need (no less than 1 
TB) and have at it. Much, much easier than "building" anything radio!
