The Linspire based PC’s will be running Freespire 2.0 and include hardware from Mirus Innovations. The PC will feature an Intel Celeron 1.6Ghz CPU with 1GB of RAM, 80GB hard drive, built-in card reader, modem and CD-RW drive. It will ship with a keyboard, mouse and speakers, the monitor will have to be purchased separately. The computer will also include the CNR Basic Service which offers users one-click access to free and commercial Linux software.
