Its great to have many choices on computer units and also on the software available today. For many computer techies, all is a must try experience to be able compare the quality of the product itself. Good review but I was hoping for the list of the specs of the computer too.

Gnome is easier to use for a beginner, IMHO, and Enlightenment is ... well... kinda crappy. full support for the D-Link WDA-1320 wireless PCI card FYI guys… this is a normal machine with 512MB memory and 1.5 Ghz processor, with 80GB storage. although the model pictured here is a little different than the version i have (i’ve got gPC2 … only has one button -the power button- on the left side), it is the same hardware.
