There must be something about the US$200 price point — for the second time this summer, Linux bloggers have been pondering the notion of a $200 computer.

Now, just barely two months later, here we are again, this time contemplating ExtremeTech’s recent post entitled, “Build a $200 PC.” Linux was part of the picture this time around too, of course. So was a lively conversation.
