  Pretty good deal, but how much are those Walmart computers?

  A comparable one with a Sempron 1.5 is $298.oo
  and the one with the Celeron is $329.oo with just
  128 of ram instead of 256.
  I expect the Dell is a better machine and the price
  isn't too bad in comparison.

  FreeDOS! That's something I'd've NEVER expected to see on a Dell!

  Their contract with MS forbids selling a PC without an operating system - Dell obviously doesn't want to support Linux and enough people know DOS that it was bound to happen.

  Woah, is that one of the worst marketing idea ever or what? LMAO
  
  But then again Dell's quality = Linux quality. :-|

  They do? Still, people are more likely to know DOS than Linux.

  Really, it's either Red Hat or SuSE for a distro created by a company offering support to corporate customers.
