But the 199.00 is on the beginning. Lindows requires 99.00 per year to receive updates, and to stay current. Plus, an 800mhz processor celeron clone is no bargain. My advice: Avoid being suckered into Lindows. If you don't mind a slower processor, and if this system isn't "Locked" into Lindows, then this isn't a bad price for an entry level Windows 98 system. Make sure you have your Windows 98 CD handy. |
