Wal-Mart just introduce a PC from Everex for $199. The interesting thing about this PC is use of the open-source Linux operating system. The machine features a 1.5-GHz Via C7-D processor and chipsets, 512 MB of SDRAM (expandable to 2 GB), an 80-GB hard drive, a DVD/CD-RW drive, and built-in 10/100 Ethernet.

The company said that by not using Windows software-and no Microsoft licensing fee, they can save $75 for each computer.

Computers come with keyboard, mouse and speakers, but no monitor.
