Wal-Mart's $200 Linux PC Sells Out

hankmt writes "About a week ago Wal-Mart began selling a $200 Linux machine running on a 1.5 ghz VIA C7 processor and 512 MB of RAM. While the specs are useless for Vista, it works blazingly fast on Ubuntu with the Enlightenment Window Manager. The machine is now officially sold out of their online warehouses (it may still be available in some stores). And the product sales page at wal-mart.com is full of glowing reviews from new and old Linux users alike."

Woo. Go "M$" - I mean it's a dollar sign! Geddit? Geddit?! ... no. Almost everyone who uses M$ instead of MS are idiots. It's subtle trolling at its best.

And when they get home they won't care. Seriously, for what most people do on their computers ANYTHING will do these days. Hell, BSD would probably work for these people and I hear they just got a GUI last year or so!
