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 Endeavor

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.
