Las Vegasissa on meneillään parhaillaan CES messut. Sitä voisi koota tähän ketjuun mitä Linux tuotteita siellä on julkistettu.

Tuossa yksi Linux tuoteuutuus:

Shuttle to release sub-$200 Linux box

ONE OF THE potentially biggest announcements at CES will probably go unnoticed by most, a Linux box from Shuttle. Get ready for a low priced machine from a big name, a first that we are aware of. When you don't have to pay the MS monopoly tax, you save a huge chunk of money from your Bill of Materials (BoM). When you don't have to support MeII, you can provide the same user experience with a lot lower hardware spec. That saves more money. In the end, that allowed Shuttle to come up with a $199 computer, quite a deal. As far as we are aware, this is the first major manufacturer box to break the $200 barrier. Well done guys.

LAS VEGAS--Asus' Eee PC and Everex's CloudBook aren't the only ones pushing down the price of affordable, open-source PCs. Shuttle introduced its $199 KPC Linux PC here on Tuesday. The company didn't have it on display on the actual floor of the convention halls here at the Consumer Electronics Show (too late did I find out you had to zip over to a private suite at the Bellagio for a look-see), but booth representatives were happy to talk details. "It's meant for simple tasks," said sales rep James Wonpu. It'll have an Intel Celeron processor, a 945GC chipset, 512MB of memory and either a 60GB or 80GB hard drive. What it won't have: an optical drive or a PCI Express slot. Despite that, it's a pretty good-looking box, and comes in red, blue, white, and black, each with a different icon stamped on the front. Shuttle also says there will be a $99 barebones version of the KPC. That version will have the option of upgrading to a Core2Duo processor and 1GB of memory. Both will be available for purchase near the end of the first quarter.

Se 200:n taalan kone on nimeltään KPC ja se näyttää tältä: (toivottavasti hotlinkkaus sallitaan)

Tästä tulee mieleen joku "pimp my shuttle, nyt kaikilla mahdollisilla väreillä"
