"Evesham is bundle the open source Lindows OS on a new bargain basement PC knocked out at

KernelPanic:
That is bad because it's Lindows yuk, but its kinda good because its a respected british PC builder backing Linux for the average joe. ball and rolling come into mind.
Evesham make some nice PC's, I make better ones though  

Master of Reality:
Its like the Walmart ones. They should be putting Red Hat 8.0 on them instead... it would be $300 cheaper then Lindows... (how does that make sense when the walmrt computers cost $299???)

I would buy one if only to format the drive and have some more coffee coasters then install a proper linux distro.

Actually walmart sells pcs with lindows and mandrake. The cheapest mandrake pc is $391, while the cheapest lindows pc is $199 The lindows pcs use those cheap via c3 800 mhz while the mandrake uses the amd duron 900mhz. Also the mandrake comes with a 40 gig hard drive compared to the lindows paltry 10 gig unit. Of course for around the same price as the mandrake setup, you could get a lindows pc with an amd athlon 1600+ and a 40 gig hard drive.
