When you hear the name EPSON, what images come to your mind? Mine, like many of you I’m sure goes to inkjet printers, or even scanners. But Linux-powered PCs? That one never crossed my mind.
EPSON is looking to release both a desktop and laptop running the open-source OS. The Endeavor LX7800 desktop will feature processors ranging from Celeron to Core 2 Duos, (sorry, no AMD here) though little else is known about these.
Their Endeavor LX1000 laptop will sport a 15-inch XGA screen and an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M GPU. Little is known about either of these systems, though they will be BTO and running TurboLinux.

hmm … turbolinux, there’s a name we haven’t heard in a while. I wonder when the Microsoft-TurboLinux patent protection deal will be announced.
