Eight years ago, I was in love with Linux and I fell for it even more when I found Debian Linux. I dreamt about Linux being sold to the average Joe years ago, and today many companies do just that. I applaud Everex for taking a step to bring Linux-based computing to the masses.

unboxing video after the jump

Today, I have the opportunity to unbox Everex’s new Linux-based desktop. The gPC Mini is powered by the gOS Space operating system, a Linux distro that was built to accommodate MySpace user. As for the unit’s exterior itself, it looks quite similar to Apple’s Mac Mini, and as such quite attractive; however the dimension on gPC mini is a little deeper than Mac Mini. We will be reviewing the unit soon and so, for now, enjoy the unboxing video.

    Any chance of disassembly instructions? 512MB screams for an upgrade.
