100% Free Software Compatible PC Launches

crimperman writes "The Open-PC project has announced that its first PC will be available at the end of February for €359. They claim the mini-ITX desktop machine is energy efficient, consumer ready, easy to upgrade, and — significantly — uses only hardware that has free software drivers available. As you'd expect, it comes with GNU/Linux which is running KDE (a €10 donation to the KDE project in included in the price). Interestingly all the key decisions on design, pricing etc. have been made by the community via online polls. The spec of the machine is pretty reasonable for the price: Atom 1.6GHz dual-core processor, 3GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Intel 950 graphics."

    I can go to Walmart and get a better machine with Windows already on it for half the price.

    For the second time I ask, who do I have to suck off to get my shitty product slashvertised?

    You need to hack Roland Piquapaille's old accounts and submit your slashvertisements as him. You can be damn sure that Slashdot's "editors" will have forgotten he passed away.

    I thought I saw a couple of mean dogs in the background fighting next to a slimy-looking, cowering puppy, in that dogs playing poker picture, but it was kinda hard to tell because the room isn't all that well illuminated.

    Thanks for the confirmation.
