“Declining chip prices from AMD and Intel have allowed the Linux
Store to lower prices on its low-priced, Linux-based computers, and
another price cut is due next week, the company said today.”
“The company cut prices today on several systems costing less
than $1,000, though not on its cheapest configuration, the
best-selling $495 Ion model. But the Linux Store will begin selling
a $399 stripped-down machine Monday as part of an exclusive deal
with an as-yet-undisclosed Internet retailer, said chief
information officer John Wise…”
“Several companies are getting into the low-cost Linux market,
including Penguin Computing, IndyBox, Sunset Systems,
Next-Dimension Computing Systems, and the Computing
Underground.”
