How to Build a $150 Linux-based PC Through Online Deals and Coupons

| Operating System: Linux OS

| Linux is free and that's a beautiful thing. (That one's for the Michael 
| Bolton fans in the audience. Thank you, sir. You can sit down now.)  If you 
| need to use Microsoft Office for word processing or Excel worksheets, you can 
| download the 'international open standard format' at OpenOffice.org for, you 
| guessed it, zero dollars. (You can also rely entirely on the online software 
| options of Google Docs or Zoho).

Forget iPhone, hail OpenMoko, the true revolution

,----[ Quote ]
| ...I would rather wait for OpenMoko to become available for purchase
| than shell out high bucks for iPhone. Just like with any Apple
| product, it is like an awesome looking golden cage. I always
| preferred freedom to control my own digital devices than to be
| mostly dependent on one vendor for everything.

| While the hardware may be similar, the strategy is a complete 
| reversal of Apple's closed platform and proprietary hardware.
| OpenMoko is an open Linux-based mobile application development
| platform that's designed to help operators and developers build
| innovative applications on top of a basic phone platform.
