Howdy,

I bought a $199.98 Lindows machine for my daughter back in November.

These machines are cranked out by Microtel and are a great deal for the
money.  I quickly grew annoyed with Lindows and formatted the HDD.  That
machine has run Win98 and Mandrake 9 since with no difficulties at all. 
I love it.

Here's a link (lots of wrap):

Enjoy!
