I would replace that with a RH or Mandrake anyway. I just meant this
hardware is at least Linux compatible.
I heard they were abandoning that concept and were going to go with
Mandrake, which IMHO would be an ideal starter distro.
They offer Mandrake, Lycoris and Lindows now. Walmart is probably the
bigger Linux reseller now. :-)
Your probably going to bust your budget with strorage (200.00 usd for
120gb) and a hundred bucks for capture and display.
I don't need that big a hard drive, this machine will be networked to
my OS X machine with a big hard drive.
Wait till after the holidays amd they will be giving them away at gas
stations. I've seen 1.1 ghz Cellerons as low as 240.00.
I kind of wanted to buy from Walmart because it was pre-installed with
Linux. I wanted to support that effort.

Thanks.
Mpeg 1 is fine as I am more concerned with smaller file sizes than
amazing quality. I mean watching a 352x240 file on a TV should look
pretty good anyway...right? This $199 machine is appealing because I
know it runs Linux and it's pretty complete. I want to be able to
make the whole thing for $300.
