Hereafter the pointers: Linutop, the good enough PC http://www.linutop.com based on ARM Geode proc, though the product isn't yet shipped The Easy Gate, the PC, router,dsl presented by the french ISP Neuf Cegetel http://www.groupeneufcegetel.fr/html/en/Press/Neuf_Cegetel_launches_Easy_Neuf_and_unveils_the_Easy_Gate_the_first___digibox___combining_broadband_internet_access_and_the_main_features_of_a_PC.html Hell, this URL is very long! There's a spreadsheet in pdf at this location, all is OSS I think that the latter offer is the killer, ISPs better have to provide the PC included in their suscribtion fee if they want to get more suscribers. Does this trend exist in the US and elsewhere? _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
