| Would You Buy an Linux-Based Everex PC For $199?  | | | |  Wal-Mart is selling very cheap computers (at $199) called Everex. These computers are so cheap because they use a distribution of the free operating system Linux. The name of this distribution is gOs (as in Green OS).
The computer comes with all the software that an average user or family would need, that is an email program, a web browser, skype, the open office suite and many free Google applications.
The PC comes with a keyboard, a mouse and speakers. Though, users will have to buy the monitor separately.
The first computers were sold at Wal-Mart very quickly. This implies that average users are not that afraid of using an alternative operating system after all. Wal-Mart is going to put more of these computers on the shelves. Unfortunately, they are only sold in the united states for the time being.
Would you buy this computer given the fact that it is not based on Windows but on Linux?

| | Well, actually there is a version of Everex that runs Windows (XP I guess). Though, it is a $100 more expensive than the Linux one.
Besides, the hard drive of this PC is 80GB, so it is more than enough to allow installing both Windows and Linux, if you already have a license of Windows. The RAM is 512 MB and the processor's frequency is 1.5 Ghz. Modest specs, but I think that they are suitable for the average user. Besides, linux is not as greedy as Windows when it comes to computer resources. | | | | | | | Hot Penny Stock – BION Why Savvy Investors Consider Agriculture "The Next Bull Cycle ".
