[PLUG] WalMart on-line sells Linux only PC for $199

["William H. Magill" <magill@mcgillsociety.org>]

In Thursday's Inquirer, John Fried reviews the "Sysmar Personal 
Computer."
Supposedly $199.86

According to the article: 800mhz processor, networking capability, 10 
gig hard drive 52x CDrom 128meg main memory and linux. A reference is 
made to lindows.com

Supposedly sold only via the WalMart website... (www.walmart.com) 
However, that website does not have such a beast listed -- only ones 
for $598 and 648 -- implying bait and switch, so be warned.

The more expensive offerings claim to support Mandrake 8.2
