Review of Tiny Cheap Green PC PC

The green politically correct PC which is ironically on sale at WalMart (which is not a politically correct store unless you are ... oh never mind, if I have to tell you, you won't get it...) has been reviewed here.

From the manufacturer:

Hardware Specifications
1.5GHz, VIA C7®-D Processor, 512MB DDR2 533MHz, SDRAM, 80GB Hard Disk Drive, DVD-ROM/CD-RW Optical Drive, VIA UniChrome Pro IGP Graphics, Realtek 6-Channel Audio, (1) 10/100 Ethernet Port, (1) DB 15-Pin VGA Port, (6) USB 2.0 Ports, (1) RJ-11 Port, (1) Headphone/Line-Out Port, (2) Microphone/Line-In Ports, (1) Serial Port, (1) Parallel Port, (1) Keyboard, (1) Mouse, (1) Set of Amplified Stereo Speakers

One technical glitch on this $200.00 Linux computer being sold at WalMarts: WalMart does not actually have the computer in stock, so good luck with actually buying one. They seem to only carry the Microsoft version of the product, proving ... well, you get the point.

If you want to get your own without having to pay the extra 100 dollars for the Windows system that you will surely wipe during the Linux installation, go here.
