Linspire Mini Linux PC
Published March 23rd, 2006
Linspire, the creators of the Debian/GNU Linux based Linspire OS, showcased a self-branded mini PC at CES 2006.
The$399 PC takes its looks from Apple’s Mac mini but the similarities end there.
The 2.8 pound PC features a front panel backlit power button, a slot loading combo DVD drive, two rear USB ports, one Firewire connector, S-Video/DVI video outputs, 10/100 Ethernet port, speaker/mic jacks, Pentium M 740 processor, a single slot for DDR2 memory, and a choice of a 40 or 80GB hard drive.
the PC comes pre-installed with the Linspire OS software, making it the ideal second or third home workstation PC. The Linspire representative also added that the mini comes “right out of the box […] with music and photo management software, Internet applications like Firefox, e-mail and instant messaging capabilities, as well as a number of built-in games.”
