Does anyone know anything about the $199.99 computer at Frys
Electronics? It was in today's ad in the paper. No rebate required.

It says:

Internet ready multimedia PC

Via C3 Samuel 2 GigaPro 800MHz Processor

30 GB hard drive

52x CD-ROM drive

56K modem

ThizLinux Linux Operating system


Do you think it would be a bad choice for someone who has no
experience with a computer, can't afford much, but is thinking of
WebTV for e-mail? I'm assuming from the specs that it would not have
WINDOWS, but has a Linux OS. I have no idea how that would be.

Any comments??
