Summary

  Want to build your own PC and
  run your favorite GNU/Linux
  distro? Brian DeLacey did all
  the research and suffered the
  battle wounds, so you don't
  have to. See how he built a
  super GNU/Linux desktop for
  under $400 and get your
  questions answered.
  
  Brian has recently built
  GNU/Linux PCs for under $400,
  under $300 and under $200!
