Linux Pre-installed on a AMD 64-bit Based System for $300

Hardware NewsDelta, CO. – Technalign has said that they have partnered
with Britt Systems in Florida to provide a 64-bit AMD 2800+ computer
for under $300.00. The certified system will include a SATA 80 GB hard
drive, CD-RW, 256 MB of memory, 1.44 MB floppy, 400-Watt power supply,
and a full OEM copy of the newly released Frontier Operating System.
Britt Systems computers will be preconfigured running the latest TaFusion
MEPIS Linux operating system, named Frontier. The system will include
OpenOffice.org (a full office suite compatible with Microsoft Office
files), Internet browsers, Thunderbird mail client, and CD/DVD burning
software, to name a few. The bundle includes the equivalent of hundreds
of dollars worth of software.
Dianne Ursini, CEO of Technalign, Inc. stated, “This new offering will
allow individuals and companies to get a powerful entry level system at
the lowest possible investment. Most companies offering an entry level
system under $300 usually provide much less processing power, smaller
hard drives, a standard CD-ROM, and no floppy drive.â€
Britt Systems computers are manufactured and shipped directly by Britt
Systems, based in Florida. All systems are fully certified by Technalign
for TaFusion MEPIS and are compliant with industry standards. The
computers are backed by a 90-day factory warranty and one- to three-year
component manufacturer warranties, and Britt Systems offers optional
service contracts as well as advanced hardware configurations. Systems
will begin shipping July 31.
Ken Britt, CEO of Britt Systems, a subsidiary of Fifthe Dimension,
states, “Consumers are demanding more Linux solutions as the market
grows. We’ve decided to provide a high-end, non-proprietary system at
a low cost for the community. The combination of TaFusion MEPIS Linux
and Britt Systems fills the need and provides plenty of flexibility as
their needs grow.â€
