First impressions of a $200 lindows box: Good

[Joel Hammer]

I tried the software junior shelf. Only a few titles. Prowrite is koffice's
word processor, which loaded no problem. (version 1.1.1). Digikam loaded
fine but didn't support my nikon coolpic 2500. Luckily, cdrecord is on this
thing, so I could see my camera and just loaded it manually with:

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera -t vfat

All the modules needed for this were already loaded.

This is actually quite handy since my main computer has been mangled by
updating and can't load my camera any more. So, that problem is solved
for now without having to reconfigure that box. Now, that was worth $200!

I'll likely spend $99 and join the warehouse, just to save myself some
effort and see what they really have to offer.
