Explain to me how this PC is beaten by the base Mac Mini. Especially since this linspire model has a 1.73Ghz P-M and the current mac mini has a mear 1.5Ghz Core-Solo.
@keng - the Linspire isn't cheaper, as far as I can tell. Check my comment further down this thread - every version I could find was at least $630. At least the Ubuntu version isn't MORE expensive than a Mac Mini...

You can configure SUSE to be as light as you want also, so how is it any more bloated than Ubuntu? It's all up to the user.

They seem to have a very spify unit conversion system:"Weighing a mere 1.15kg (0.52 lb)"That must be the lunar field unit for weight.

Anyone know if this takes 2.5 or 3.5" hard drives?
