I just checked out the site... pretty cool.

The pc larry mentions is a 1.3 ghz amd duron (not 1.8, although it does
kind of look like an 8 not a 3.

heres the specs on the Linare PC:
1.3 GHz AMD Processor
  128 MB RAM
  30 GB Hard disk
  Mouse
  Keyboard
  Speakers
  Ethernet Interface

Walmart has been selling linux pc's also (online only, dont bother
walking in...)

Here are their $199 computer specs:

Sysmar417 (also sysmar550 is simular)
AMD Duron 1.2 GHz processor with 3DNow! technology 
200 MHz frontside bus
128 MB SDRAM, expandable to 1 GB
133 MHz memory speed
20 GB Ultra-DMA hard drive, 5400 rpm (total accessible capacity varies
depending on operating environment)
52x CD-ROM drive 
Integrated video with up to 8 MB shared video memory
Integrated AC97 Soft Audio
Integrated 10/100 Ethernet connection

They seem about comparable, the walmart ones come with a cdrom, but
smaller hard disk.

Both come with speakers, mouse, keyboard, and linux installed. 
I also noticed that walmart now sells computers with SuSE installed too!
