How’s $474 sound for a reasonably speedy computer running the
latest SuSE?
“It’s amazing what $500 will buy you these days. Have you looked
at AMD’s Duron lately? One quick glance at those
price-to-performance numbers and you’ll be racing for the credit
card. Duron prices are so low that you feel guilty for not buying
one.”
“We at Signal Ground couldn’t let an opportunity like this pass
us by. So we built a new Duron-based system, intrugued by the
challenge of building a high-performance budget box. And it gave us
a chance to play with SuSE 7.1 — whose Live Eval version impressed
us so much — and test its mettle on our USB peripherals.”
