Everex, the company that brought us the Cloudbook is going after Mini PCs like the Mac Mini with this Linux Powered Mini PC.
The Everex Mini come with a 1.86GHZ Intel Pentium Dual Core Mobile Processor, 512MB of RAM, a 120GB hard drive, a built in DVDRW and Intel GMA950 graphics.
There is also Realtek ALC268 High Definition Audio, Ethernet, DVI-I, S-Video, Firewire, 4 USB ports and a built in 4 in 1 media card reader.
The Everex gPC Mini runs gOS and comes with several open source and free applications such as OpenOffice 2.3, Firefox, GIMP, as well as linked applications like gMail, Facebook and others.
The Everex gPC Mini will go on sale in March for $499.

gmail isn’t an application, it’s a webservice, there’s nothing to install on the machine. Saying it comes with firefox is saying it comes with gmail, hotmail, digg.com, google.com etc.

Hi Even More Stupid
It is a shame you felt you had to use a false name to post your comments.
I have corrected the post to reflect that gMail is a linked application.
I have also added a link to the manufacturers product page should anyone be interested.

he just meant that it doesn’t matter what OS or computer you have, as long as you have internet access, you have Gmail and Facebook…they aren’t linked applications or applications at all! they’re websites, n00b. and gOS is pretty crappy, mainly intended for outdated computers with little resources…do you even use Linux?

Why the comment about another site “scraping” this article, all you did is scrape it from electronista.com?

Hi Scott
Thanks for the comment, but I didn’t Scrape it from Electronista, I rewrote it and gave them credit as the source of my information.
The site which scraped it used a scraper program, which took the exact text from this site, and used my images which are hosted on my server, so it basically took the whole article.
Everytime someone from Digg went to the other site, the images were being taken from my server and using up my bandwidth, which I am paying for.
I only just found out when I noticed how much bandwidth had been used today over 5GB.
The other site has changed their article now, before it was an exact copy of the one above, using the images hosted on this website.
Cheers

Looks a bit smaller than the Mini. Actually, it looks like a cheapo Conia DVD player.

Just wondering if anyone knows if Everex packages a legal DVD decoder in their version of linux (like Dell does)

Sounds good except for the graphics chipset. They should have went with an AMD CPU with a 780G chipset. It wouldn’t be as fast CPU-wise, but it would use less energy and would have much better video speed.
