$499 for a Dell desktop with a 2.2gh processor, 40gb hard drive, 256mb RAM, operating system and starter software pack, video, sound, 10/100 network, and a 15" flat panel display. It's been a while since I checked PC prices. They've entered the color tv range. Wow. It's soon not going to take much money to cross the digital divide in this country. Posted

David,
Go for it! When it comes, format and install Red Hat. (Although, I've got a Dell laptop that scares me to death; I don't mess with it at all; maybe I'm getting old.)
Better, look for someone to sell you one at the same price with Linux already installed. I'd be willing to bet you could take a walk in your neighbourhood and find something within 20 minutes.

The only problem with buying the dell system is you'll never be able to get decent support anymore with them. Thats what you get when you outsource the entire support department
