According to News.com, Linare plans to sell a $199 no-monitor model with 1GHz VIA CPU, 128MB RAM, 20GB HDD, KDE, OpenOffice. An extra $50 would get the user upgraded to a 2GHz Athlon. Company is located in beautiful Bellevue, WA, which, as News.com noted, is quite close to another Seattle suburb - Redmond, WA."

    ...can I get GNOME instead of KDE, too, so I can actually spend time using it and not just configuring it and figuring out the menus? :P

    Gee they tout linux, but their own web menus don't work in mozilla?? What gives.?

    They sort of half-assed work in Mozilla (the drop-down menus don't show up, but the top links in the bar work). Konqueror doesn't even show the links in the menu bar at all.

    Oh well, it's not like I was planning to buy anything from them - I use and sell whitebox workstations and refurbished HP servers.
