I was under the impression that Tuxtops are laptops running Linux, not a
company or brandname. -- Jonathan

"Tuxtops" was actually the name of a company. I tried to persuade them to
do a laptop with FreeBSD pre-installed, and actually got a solid
configuration
going for them. But the founders sold the company shortly thereafter, and
the
new owner did not show interest in having me tie up the loose ends and help
them ship the product.
