I thought I'd posted this to the list a week ago, but can't see it, so my
appologies if I've double posted.
If anyone is interested, TPG is selling a system with Linux pre-installed, for
$699 (no monitor). Curiously, they don't mention which version of Linux they
have installed.
Just to make things interesting, they also include 6 months unlimited ADSL
free with the package. Of course, that assumes you live at a location that
can get TPG ADSL.
The system is only available online, from http://www.tpg.com.au/xmachine/. It
is only referenced from their newsletter too. No direct links from their
normal hardware site. Curious.
Anyway, I thought it was interesting to see a local hardware and internet
provider supplying a pre-installed Linux machine. I hope we see more of this
as time goes by.
For the curious, the specs are given below.
Cheers,
Rasjid.
