"As I've said many times on this site, I doubt the bulk of casual computer users will even notice it's not Windows or Mac." ... that's probably true Matt! Things seem to be progressing pretty fast now and if the relative rate of change keeps up for a few more years I think we may just witness significant adoption of cheap yet powerful Linux computers (from the pocket-sized to the full desktop experience).

You may also want to add these two machines to the growing list of potentially mainstream Linux based personal computers: the Asus Eee PC and the Nokia N810

P.S. Bill, well said. The PS3 can function as a personal computer ("Windows PC replacement") in many cases.

P.P.S. Apparently the Everex gPC TC2502 sold out at Wal-Mart within a few short days.
