Shuttle's $200 Linux PC Part of a Trend?

Posted by timothy on from the love-it-already dept.

eldavojohn writes "With $200 machines being all the rage these days, it's surprising that more coverage hasn't been given to Shuttle's KPC which is an Intel Celeron processor, a 945GC chipset, 512MB of memory and either a 60GB or 80GB HDD. With deals like these, will Linux become the dominant home operating system for the thrifty?"

    Not true. I tried booting a laptop (which had somehow borked the windows installation) from a USB CD drive and it just hung.

    And yes, I did enable it in the bios and yes, I did set it as the first option.

    Summary: you're a fucking asshat who should shut the fuck up.

    It's RESPONSE, you fucking idiot!!!

    RESPONSE!!!

    There is no 'C' in RESPONSE, you moron! (At least, I presume that by "repsonce" you meant to type "responce").

    If I see this once more on the internet I think I'll scream.

    ASSHOLE! Learn how to f-ing spell, or stop writing things in public.

    Every time twitter posts on Slashdot, a troll loses it's temper... chairs, chairs everywhere.

    Every time the M$ rings, an Astroturfer loses it's wings. Fat bald old men screaming and falling from the sky, "I love this company!"

    Go scribble something in Notepad, Toadlife, it suits you.
