But why does it cost so much?  They have one with Windows XP Home
Edition and better specs for only $50 more. AMD 1.1 Ghz instead of Via
C3 1 Ghz.  40GB instead of 30 GB.  DVD instead of CD.  And 802.11b, all
for $548.  So why not just dump the Windows and load on the free Linux
distribution of your choice?
