I apologize if this is old news(Jan 17th) to you folks but I wasn't aware of this until today. Sears, sells a PC with Freespire 2.0 for under $200.00 USD and it has a little more power than the Walmart-Everex Computer.
Sears offers cheap pre-installed Freespire Linux PCs
A Quote:
This Linux also includes every legal proprietary codec and program it can possible include, such as Windows Media, MP3, Real and QuickTime codices, ATI, Nvidia, Wi-Fi and WinModem drivers, and one-click access to legally licensed DVD playback software, games, Sun Microsystems' StarOffice, Win4Lin, CodeWeavers' Crossover Office, TransGaming's Cedega, and dozens of other commercial products. It offers the greatest range of proprietary software of any Linux.
Of course I think you would still have to purchase a subscription to Freespire for updates and whatnot, it might be something for Newbies to consider. Hell I might buy one to install my distro onto.
