actually i just bought one....STAY AWAY!!!!! (Score 1)

these machines are not for linux users...i dont see the market potential for these.... i booted it..i couldnt even access root... uh HELLO?!?! then i tried to an install of Red Hat 6.1 no luck there.. something else seems fishy because i couldnt get it to read another drive that already had RH on it... i mean it the BIOS couldnt even see the thing?!!?!? anyway i would stay away from them.... save up for a REAL computer... i wanted to do some gateway and NFS type stuff on it... for home use... which is really why you would use Linux anyway.. and couldnt .. you get no apache or anything fun ;) it's just like a shitty version of Windows 98... heh... if you were going to buy a cheap machine to do office software.. dont buy a PIA.. waste o time period.... again i dont see the market potential for these boxes .. since it doesnt really exploit the potential of linux... it might as well run on well Windows... hell get an Imac ... im sending it back on Monday
