Tech Tangents takes a look at a brand new (cheapo) PC from Fry’s Electronics that shipped with a “Windows clone” Linux distro called “Linspire” (previously called “Lindows”).

Can’t read ”Linspire” without this starting to play in my head, dammit:
i used to have one of these and it was the first time i went with linux fulltime.
i was an employee of fry’s electronics so i got a discount with it as well. lol
EDIT: mine didn’t come with speakers, but that keyboard made me feel nostalgic. and speaking of penny pinching: fry’s never updated their sales/inventory system past msdos 6.22
Did you stick to Linspire? Or did you switch to someone else?
I put mandrake on it and used the machine for another 6 years; one of the best buys I ever made.
