It has been a while since we have posted to this blog and the best way to get over the hump is to post something. Jason emailed me this wired story today about a Linux PC that will sell for $200 dollars at Wal-mart.
Beside the link the message only had "I know the implications here, but $200..."
After reading the article I had the same feeling. How can I not go and pick up one of these things just to play with? Sure there are implications of what would I actually do with it but still it is only $200. Getting the chance to kick the tires of something like this is enticing. It makes me wonder if Linux is becoming ready for a less sophisticated technology user out-of-the-box how long is it before organizations large and small start to take a longer look at open-sources desktop computing in the same way many are starting to look at enterprise level solutions.

James, how about an update on this now that you've had a good look at the machine? What do you think of it? Who would it appeal to?
