Linspire PC Surpasses the gPC with Better Hardware and Software
Posted by freesoftnews on Jan 19, 2008 in Linux, News • No commentsAfter all the buzz the gPC received for being a $200 Linux-based computer available at Wal-Mart, I am both surprised and disappointed to see how little attention a new inexpensive Linux desktop that brings the price even lower while providing better hardware and software is getting. The new PC is a collaboration between Linspire and Mirus Innovations.
When I first saw the press release for this new PC, I assumed that this was just a rip-off of the gPC. While this PC may have been inspired by the gPC (and I suspect it was,) it combines a (slightly) less expensive price point, better hardware, a real Linux distribution, and legal proprietary codecs.
