[GLLUG] Introducing the mintBox

[Chick Tower]

Oh, c'mon, Aleric.  How can you question the price of a Linux box?  It 
has Linux on it, so it's worth anything they ask.  How can you put a 
price on freedom?

I suppose you could carry it from office to home or wherever you have a 
monitor and keyboard set up.  It appears to be much more portable than a 
desktop PC, and even many laptop PCs.
