You may remember the hoopla in the open source world when Wal-Mart started putting the Everex-built, Linux-powered gPC on store shelves at the start of November. The desktop systems carried a price tag of only $199, which grabbed many headlines, but a number of poor reviews appeared. There's going to be considerably less rejoicing in open source circles today, as the company has announced that the product will no longer be available in stores: it's been banished to web-only sales.
