Some time ago, I found a desktop computer, brand unknown, with reasonable
properties as far as the CPU, the video, etc., with Linspire loaded.  I bought
it.  Linspire went out the window quick when I found you had to _rent_ almost
every ap separately--linspire comes with KDE just about _only_.  It now has 
Suse 10.0 on it, which works well except for the problem that developed in
KMail.  (I'm going to try the solution proposed a bit earlier on the list
here, to see if I can recover the stuff with the Asian fonts, but it's
still awfully goofy.)

Apparently Linspire has dropped the fees, and two places that you can 
supposedly get a computer with Linspire preloaded are Walmart and Amazon.
I don't remember if mine came from Amazon or somewhere else.
