Great job.

good review - I do hope they provide instructions for changing the root password so JoeUser doesn't log onto the internet first without changing them with those defaults!
Now when are they going to start selling them here in the uk? *grin*

Great evaluation. You saved my butt. I didn't get my sticker with the passwords or the ID so you can imagine how pissed I was when I couldn't even get logged in. I tried Wal-mart (held forever) emailed (still no reply) and in the mean time it was your evaluation that allowed me to get at least logged on. This computer is a Christmas present but if it had not been for your help I would not have been giving much of a gift. Without being able to log on and use it there's not much difference between it and a rock.

Ron: Glad I could help... just in time for Christmas.

Have a great one!

I also didn't get a password card, so if it wasn't for this group, the computer would be back on its way to Wal-Mart.

Where did you get the turbo-x wing keyboard?

Kevin · 6 years ago

It came as part of the package... No special order.

Hi there,
from what you describe, this computer blows. I mean, a 1+ minute start up? XP goes up in 35 - 40 seconds on a duron 600. I suppose my mandrake install isn't that speedy tho either...How's the performance when in the OS?

The C3 processors in desktops are supposed to be for htpc projects and mp3 boxes. Ahh...maybe I expect too much, lol.

I hope these wally world pcs don't discourage people from using Linux...

Good Eval tho, appropriate ratings :-)

From memory, once within the OS, the machine seemed OK performance-wise. At least enough so that it kept my teenage son entertained surfing the web and such when I brought him into the office with me one weekend. Then again, a web browser isn't pushing the OS either.

Overall, I would have to say the performance of the machine once everything was up and running was on par with all other inicators of the machine.

Simply put, it's an entry-level machine and nothing more.

Lycoris is great, but some issues, When using its version of WINE it does do some weird things, like hang on alot of the software, and anything running on WINE will always be on top of everything else. I love the features it does contain, but why is it that i can open microsoft office documents, but cant save them as ms-office documents. This might not be a problem if i was able to install my office 2000 software.I still would like to see more compatibility for windows software. Another issue would be that for some reason i am unable to install my own linux software without having to go through its wizard, what ever happend to linux being free....
