[ale] Creeping Linux

[John Mills]

ALErs -

A couple of weeks ago I saw a single "Linux PC" at _Sams's_Club_ on
Clairmont Rd.  The box claimed to contain a 1.3GHz Celeron, 128 MBy RAM,
40GBy HDD, Linux system with Open Office and "a Linux-compatible modem".
Said nothing about "Lindows" that I saw.  $299 without monitor. It's gone
now.(Sold ... exiled??) I wondered if others had seen Linux systems in
similar outlets?

Happy GNU Year.
