Lindows adopts the network computer | |
|

| Time: 04:50 EST/09:50 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||

Lindows.com is attempting to resurrect the lifeless network computer. Lindows, which distributes LindowsOS--a consumer-oriented version of the Linux operating system--launched on Tuesday a $169 desktop machine. The new computer, dubbed the WebStation, is a basic PC sans a hard drive or a floppy drive. Instead, it boots from its CD drive and uses data downloaded from a network or an Internet connection. Lindows intends WebStation to be used as a bare-bones method for accessing the Web. The company envisions that, instead of spending $400 to buy a basic Windows PC or $300 to get a basic Lindows desktop, some companies or individuals would rather pay less for a WebStation. Companies could use the WebStation to set up a kiosk that displays information on the Web, or individuals could use it to surf the Web, Lindows said. | ||
