Hi,

not too long ago, I was asked about PCs with Linux preloaded.

http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/49641

This Heise (german) article tells about Carrefour, who sell
a 300 EUR PC with Mandrake 10 - AMD Duron 1.8GHz, 256MB RAM,
40GB harddisk, graphics not good for gaming. No DVD-ROM (i.e.
CDROM only), no screen included.
Carrefour sells these machines in Belgium, France, Switzerland,
Luxembourg and Monaco.

While I love to see PCs with Linux preloaded, I'd personally
rather see "normal" machines instead of ultra-low-end (the
above machine can today be considered that - the Durons
being replaced with "Sempron" and all, and the equipment is
sufficient for simple stuff, but that's it...).

Greets Eric
