Linux Pre-installed on a AMD 64-bit Based System for $300

Hardware NewsDelta, CO. – Technalign has said that they have partnered with Britt Systems in Florida to provide a 64-bit AMD 2800+ computer for under $300.00. The certified system will include a SATA 80 GB hard drive, CD-RW, 256 MB of memory, 1.44 MB floppy, 400-Watt power supply, and a full OEM copy of the newly released Frontier Operating System.
Britt Systems computers will be preconfigured running the latest TaFusion MEPIS Linux operating system, named Frontier. The system will include OpenOffice.org (a full office suite compatible with Microsoft Office files), Internet browsers, Thunderbird mail client, and CD/DVD burning software, to name a few. The bundle includes the equivalent of hundreds of dollars worth of software.
Dianne Ursini, CEO of Technalign, Inc. stated, “This new offering will allow individuals and companies to get a powerful entry level system at the lowest possible investment. Most companies offering an entry level system under $300 usually provide much less processing power, smaller hard drives, a standard CD-ROM, and no floppy drive.â€
Britt Systems computers are manufactured and shipped directly by Britt Systems, based in Florida. All systems are fully certified by Technalign for TaFusion MEPIS and are compliant with industry standards. The computers are backed by a 90-day factory warranty and one- to three-year component manufacturer warranties, and Britt Systems offers optional service contracts as well as advanced hardware configurations. Systems will begin shipping July 31.
Ken Britt, CEO of Britt Systems, a subsidiary of Fifthe Dimension, states, “Consumers are demanding more Linux solutions as the market grows. We’ve decided to provide a high-end, non-proprietary system at a low cost for the community. The combination of TaFusion MEPIS Linux and Britt Systems fills the need and provides plenty of flexibility as their needs grow.â€
