Well, let's see:

make		avertec				dell
cpu		sempron 3000+ (1.8Ghz)		Pentium-M 1.6Ghz
screen		12"				14"
ram		???				256
drive		80gig				60gig
wireless	yes, if it works		yes, guaranteed to work
network		10/100				10/100
OS		XP Home				Linux (a choice)
dual boot	on your own			available
warranty	1 year parts/labor		1 year emperor
						1 year dell
cd		cd/dvd burner (works?)		cdrw (writers extra)


They'll both do 1024x768 but what can you see on a 12" screen?  I don't 
see how much memory the avertec comes with.

The Tiger, you get your choice of: EmperorLinux, Debian, Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux, SuSE ($100+), Ubuntu, Slackware, Mandrake.

Plus you get a really cool emperorlinux sticker.

Emperor Linux lets you configure the boxes too:
