It runs Lindows which is a scaled back linux that they then try to sell
you on a software subscription service. I heard they were abandoning
that concept and were going to go with Mandrake, which IMHO would be an
ideal starter distro. Your probably going to bust your budget with
strorage (200.00 usd for 120gb) and a hundred bucks for capture and
display. 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.

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.
