Start-up launches low-cost Linux PCs (News.com)
News.com covers
Linare, a small company that has launched a new line of inexpensive
Linux PCs. "Analysts don't foresee an easy time for Linare in mature
markets such as the United States but give the company better odds in
India. "What they're doing is bottom fishing for consumers who haven't yet
bought a PC only because of price point," said IDC analyst Roger Kay. "My
sense is that most people who are culturally attuned to the PC market have
bought PCs, one way or the other. Of those who have not bought, there are
not that many who haven't bought them purely for price reasons.""

Start-up launches low-cost Linux PCs (News.com) Posted Jun 25, 2003 16:05 UTC (Wed) by hamjudo (guest, #363) [Link] I wish them luck, but they're doing too much, to do anything well.
They're selling hardware. They should choose one, and do it well. Either focus on selling hardware or focus on selling support. If an existing distribution doesn't do what they need, contribute to an existing distribution until it does. I looked around their website, and saw few details. Maybe they have a great business plan, but something horrible happened to their developer website, so they put up that devcom email address instead.
