That's true, and with SuSE 8.2 for just under $300.00US. They have a couple of faster models for up to $500.00, all of which ship with 128MB of RAM. I would suggest adding RAM to go > 512MB if one plans on using Openoffice.org as it's a memory hog. I have some minor nits to pick with the packaging on these boxen, primarily that they should load pam_ldap and nss_ldap by default so we could plug then into the network with no software changes. It would be nice if they had the CD images copied to the hard drive to make it easy for the unwashed to add packages without flipping CDs. As it is, we just change the software installation source in yast2 to point to the main NFS server where we keep the SuSE install images, install our OpenPKG stuff, and they're ready to go as workstations on the LAN in about five minutes. Our primary changes are to set up LDAP authentication, the amd automounter, and map all /home directories using amd.
