[wplug] Everex Laptops from Wal-Mart

[Greg Simkins]

I had been interested in a laptop shown in popular science for $100 intended for distribution in the third world.  It used to be shown at www.laptop.org, but today I see the domain is for sale and it is directed to techshopping.com for cheap computers.  Oh well.  They have a link to several sites selling cheap notebook computers.  Perhaps there is something of interest there.

  I've been looking at these Everex laptops being sold at Wal-Mart for around $500 - 15.4" screen (12800x800), CD-DVD burners, 512MB, 1.5-1.7GHz.  I think the StepNote was the one being marketed as the "greenest" laptop on the market... Has anyone had any experience with these laptops, in particular with running Linux on them? Not finding much on the web about it...
