[OT] Loongson hardware in Europe
Having long wanted to run http://www.openbsd.org/loongson.html, I've just seen that the main EU vendor of Loongson/Lemote/Yeeloong has finally —temporarily, they say— significantly cut the hitherto relatively high cost of these machines. I'm not going to spam the URL, but if this interests you and you can't figure out who this is (it's not Wim; it's the other guys), then drop me a line. (I'm not affilitated with any of the aforesaid; I'm just posting because I would have appreciated the heads-up if I hadn't discovered this myself.)

I will spam for you :-) http://www.tekmote.nl/epages/61504599.sf/en_GB/?ViewObjectPath=%2FShops%2F615 04599it's interesting discount, however valid only till 18.11 , still I think that's somewhat overpriced, especially older models. Yeah I know, not so big amount of units and so on, but still those EU rules..

For the same price as of a low-end amd64 laptop you get: Processor: LoongSon 3A, 900MHz [...] Battery duration: 2,5 hours after recharging And then the motto: Apple in Linux hardware! What a joke... Thanks to this thread I remembered the disappointment when the 3A was announced.
