Wow, computers being sold in drug stores. That's pretty nuts in itself, I think. But then again they sell everything else, so why not computers?

That's cool, though. I'm really glad to hear there's more points of entry out there for people to get into Linux and out of Microsoft's clutches.

Yeah - this is quite relevant. Now they'll probably won't sell one of these boxes....

yeah, because its Germany and there everything has to be in order ;) :D

I have never seen these computers. Maybe they are only available for online orders.

I don't think that they are a high quality product.

You are not going to get this kind of setup for that price in South Africa (apart from the fact that you won't get Linux pre-installed here anyway).
