Acer eMachines laptop that runs Linux - $339
Posted: Tue Jan 27, 2009 11:31 am
I thought this was interesting as it says it runs Linux. Digging around it looks like it has Linpus Linux which is based on Fedora. It's got a netbook style simple menu or the more conventional desktop. I also noticed that eMachines had an Ubuntu option with some of their machines. I don't remember hearing about eMachines offering Linux.
