>>$500 but no monitor. If this is going to be for home use, one would need a monitor which could be another $200. Keyboard<< Oh, I don't know Ed, but maybe it uses standard monitor and key board so that when the company is ordering 10,000 machines, they dont have to throw out the monitors and keyboards. Comes with CPQ internet programable key board (hot keys for goto etc.) but I can't tell if keyboard is extra. BWDIK

Edward - This product is not targeted at home users, it is a commercial desktop for large accounts. I think the notion of a Linux desktop is misguided - Linux is years away from being able to support productivity apps and has about zero penetration in that market. BTW I use both Linux and Windows2000 routinely and W2K is a lot more stable than Linux... You are probably thinking about Windows98, different product.
