Bah.

Med tanke på at halvparten av verdens advokater jobber i USA, tipper jeg Walmart har de rette "vi er ikke ansvarlige" klausuler på diverse kjøpsavtaler ol.

 

EDIT:

- 1.5 GHz Via Technologies C7-D processor

Dog noget usikker på CPUen de har valgt på denna...

Er vel en stund siden Via var i front på x86 markedet.

Uff, VIA-maskiner. De kunne i alle fall brukt Intel hovedkort.

 

gOS er en nedstrippet Ubuntu slik at de greier å kjøre noe fornuftig på de dårlige maskinene.

 

Ville heller ha gått for Asus EEE, de maskinene har i alle fall nok kraft til å takle normale distroer.

distrowatch.org fanget opp nyheten:

Another piece of news widely reported by many Linux news sites was the sudden appearance of a $199 Linux computer at WalMart. This in itself wouldn't have been all that exciting, except that the system runs a Linux distribution called gOS. What? You've never heard of gOS? Well, neither has DistroWatch until last week, but that didn't prevent it from being supplied as an operating system on a low-cost computer, available at a major retailer in the United States! Quite an achievement, given that many well-established Linux distributions struggle to gain presence on the shelves of computer stores. Aside from the surprise appearance, gOS is an Ubuntu-based distribution using a heavily modified Enlightenment window manager. In the media, it was often presented as a "Google OS", but the project's web site states that gOS is not affiliated with Google in any way. Even so, the distro developers are clearly enamoured with Google applications and services, which form an integral part of the gOS experience. The computer and the OS are meant to attract less technical computer users, but its low-end specifications suggest that it might be too sluggish to be really enjoyable. Still, it's hard to beat the price!
