PluggedIn: A $199 PC with no Windows, no Intel inside (Reuters)
Reuters looks
at $199 computers at WalMart and finds Lycoris Desktop/LX inside of
some. "Freedom -- from Microsoft -- is a chief reason that consumers
would buy a Linux-based machine, said Jason Spisak, marketing director of
Lycoris, a nine-person start-up and one of two companies supplying Wal-Mart
with an operating system for the $199 machines. The other, also
Linux-based, is Lindows."

PluggedIn: A $199 PC with no Windows, no Intel inside (Reuters) Posted Dec 5, 2002 17:21 UTC (Thu) by raymond (guest, #5200) [Link] While Linux based computer is sold, where can I buy a Linux supported USB Scanner? Preferably Supporting USB2.0 scanner like HP Scanjet 2300c or 3500c.I searched the web and only found mentioning support on HP Scanjet 2100c/2200c. But when I go to the shops, there are only 2300c, 3500c, ... available for sell.(I am in Hong Kong)

PluggedIn: A $199 PC with no Windows, no Intel inside (Reuters) Posted Dec 5, 2002 17:26 UTC (Thu) by busterb (subscriber, #560) [Link] You can't go wrong with an Epson scanner. I have a 1660 and it works beautifully with the regular SANE driver and with the Linux drivers supplied by Epson itself!Epson printers also seem to work especially consistently and well with free software.
PluggedIn: A $199 PC with no Windows, no Intel inside (Reuters) Posted May 30, 2003 2:55 UTC (Fri) by ddmetzger (guest, #11528) [Link] Hello,I believe you have solved a problem that has vexed me for days during which I have spent MANY hours in fruitless attempts to get my Epson Perfection 1660 Photo scanner running under Lindows 3.0. I have tried packages from Lindows CNR, Epson Kowa, Mozilla, MIT, etc. etc. The farthest I have ever gotten is to have sane-find-scanner locate the scanner. scanimage -L returns "no device found" as does everything else. I would be eternally in your debt if you could send me an Email with a few hints about how you did the seemingly impossible. I am a long-time Microsoft user looking to gain some independence so I am strictly a neophyte with Linux and its various distributions. My Email address is: 1000 Thanks !!
