Linux-powered LinPC desktop is a bargain
,----[ Quote ]
| The new generation of inexpensive netbooks may be wonderful, but for my main
| desktop I want a real machine -- something I can open up, clean, and add to.
| So I was extremely tickled recently to trade for a new LinPC, an economical
| personal computer that features PCLinuxOS MiniMe 2008 preinstalled and ready
| to go.

| Overall, I'm happy with my recent acquisition. The case is sturdy with lots
| of room for growth. The power supply is sufficient to run a mid-level add-on
| graphics card that requires an additional power source. The motherboard is
| respectable for its price point. The processor is ample for today's
| applications, and the graphics is powerful enough for most of the 3-D games
| available for Linux today.

CTL vows $149 Atom, Linux-based desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| Two additional models are complete but give the buyer a choice of operating
| system. A $199 model is defined as the mid-range model; though it comes with
| just 512MB of memory, it ships with Ubuntu Linux and so doesn't carry the
| same demands as a Windows system. An 80GB hard drive will also be standard on
| the PC.
