An anonymous reader writes "NewsForge (Also owned by VA) has a short writeup on R Cubed's latest laptop, the LS1250-L Linux laptop. From the article: 'My test machine came with Fedora Core 5, the GNOME desktop, OpenOffice.org 2.0, the Firefox browser, and Evolution mail client. The lineup also includes the normal assortment of multimedia players, administration tools, and games. If you prefer, you can choose SUSE 10.1, various flavors of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and even Microsoft Windows XP.'"

Clearly they are targeting the $900/hr engineers out there. Since I don't make $900 an hour, I'd rather by my own more-powerfull $600 laptop and take an hour and load PCLinuxOS or FC5 myself. Yes it will eat up a hour of my time, but to save $900 and get a BETTER freaking laptop, I think I can deal with it.
