Linux has leaped into the consumer mainstream with national retailer Dick 
Smith Electronics promoting complete Linux PCs starting at $1099. 

The entry-level PC detailed on the web at Dick Smith Electronics includes a 
Duron 1.1GHz processor, 128MB memory, 20GB hard drive, 52x CD-Rom, speakers 
and 17-inch monitor. The same model without a monitor costs $798, including 
GST. 

The chain's senior computer buyer, Chris Day, says savings of $200 to $600 are 
possible compared with a Microsoft Windows-based PC. 

The Dick Smith brand "Terminator" series has been shipping since the start of 
the month with Mandrake Linux and OpenOffice and a bundle of other software. 
The base hardware box comes from ASUS in Taiwan.

Cheers; Leon
