I found one up and running today.

For $300 you get:

AMD 1.3GHz
40 gb HD
256 MgB SDRAM
CDROM drive (not DVD)
AGP slot
Ethernet
2 USB (don't know if USB 1 or USB 2)
front mounted slots for camera memory cards.

Appears to be using a RedHat distro of some sort:
RH's mishmash of KDE and Gnome for GUI;
Sawfish for window manager;
Evolution for email;
kernel 2.4.20-3.11cpub (which isn't a normal RH notation)
QTCups on the machine;
Gimp aboard, but not installed;
Open Office installed.

No monitor.

Also saw a Minolta QMS color laser printer 2300 DL for only $700.
This is the network ready model with a separate toner cartridge for
each color. Can be optioned for duplex printing. Also has input
for Parallel and USB.

PS I would love to know how the machine is configured to be able to
read all those memory card slots.
