Bringing Affordable, Reliable Linux Systems to the
Consumer”
EBIZ Enterprises, Inc. (OTC BB:EBIZ – news), a leading
manufacturer and e-commerce distributor of Linux and Windows-based
computer systems, announced today their plans to introduce the
first true Linux-based Personal Internet Appliance, the
PIA(TM).
The PIA, priced at $199, establishes a new entry-level category
for Linux computer systems, which brings the performance and
reliability benefits of Linux to the consumer market.”
“The system comes complete with 2.1 G.B hard drive or greater,
32 Mb RAM, AMD Processor, video card, speakers, a keyboard and a
mouse, and requires a separate monitor. Along with Internet
capability via Netscape, the PIA will include word processing,
spreadsheet and database software capabilities. Because the full
Linux operating system is installed, thousands of free-ware and
low-cost software programs, from 3-D modeling packages, office
productivity, graphics and accounting packages, will run on the new
PIA platform.”
