Shipment was supposedly to be in three days from now ... yet the box arrived today! It boots Knoppix as well as my Quantian just fine. A pIV 2.8 GHz and a mobo with sata support, gigabit lan, graphics, sounds, whathaveyou all integrated along with a puny little disk and a laughable amount of Ram (order for a gb from crucial is on its way), it all came to just over $500 of which $100 should come back via a mail-in rebate.
