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)
Is this a 12" laptop ?!
, no screen included.
No I'm joking, but by reading the specs that's the first impression had ;)
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
ciao,
pst
