Hi Folks!
Just spotted this in the morning mail:
http://www.ebuyer.com/267867-emachine-er1401-desktop-pt-nbzec-004
I'm not familiar with e-machines kit but they seem to be established and
as I recall ebuyer have been stocking their stuff for some time.
However, at £129 for a dual-core machine with 2GB RAM and nvidia
graphics that will presumably be very quiet and does HDMI and digital
audio, I'm guessing you can hardly go wrong if you are looking for a
cheap media machine.
It ships with Linpus 9.5 which implies to me that you should be able to
load the distro of your choice on it without too much trouble. Many of
the comments focus on whether it will run Windows, which is a bit sad,
but there we are.
Finally, I don't work for ebuyer or e-machines so have no interest in
this other than hopefully alerting fellow LUGsters to a Linux bargain.
And as that 'hopefully' implies there is a fair amount of supposition in
this email - I'll leave it to you to check the spec before you hand over
your hard-earned pocket money!
