> Can these WalMart Lindoze specials be converted to RedHat?

I haven't tried it yet, but I don't know why not.  Under the covers,
Linux is Linux.  Walmart also sells (or used to sell) the Microtel PC's
with Mandrake (even closer to Redhat).

I'll probably be loading Redhat on the Walmart PC sometime soon.  I can
let the list know how it goes.

Someone on a different LUG list pointed out that tigerdirect has similar
low end Linux PC's even cheaper than Walmart.  (I haven't looked myself)
