Sounds like it was made for slackware given the hardware specs date from the late 90's so it'd make sense to have a distro stuck in them on it ;)

The PC I had at the end of the 90s fell well short of that spec, but you're right that it's not amazing. But for £100, it's better than my calculator :-)
What I like is the price point that's being set. If we can get something functional for £100 and something pretty got for £200-£250 (Eee), then the cost of an MS operating system becomes pretty noticeable (not just the £20 high volume OEM cost, but the hardware requirements to run it).
We just need to avoid Linux getting a reputation for being a low-end O/S.
