Hi Rose, thanks for bringing up the price issue! ;-)
We will be offering the next batch of boards through the channels we have used in the past AND through the Phoenix Developer Consortium. The price for Phoenix members who are participating in the quasi-sourceforge relationship with Genesi is $299 for the Pegasos mainboard with CPU.
The new cases will come only with the Pegasos configured according to a certain specification (we had to "bend" a few things to get everything in there!).
Best regards,
R&B :-D
P.S. Yes, Rose, that is a great idea -- do some research on the companies involved! :-P Our BDO (Pretory/Thendic) and PWC (Genesi/bplan/Thendic-France) Auditors will be happy to speak with you! Also, no FUD please -- Debian, SuSE, Mandrake and Gentoo all run fine (even YDL2.1). Not to mention OpenBSD, which we received our first screenshot of last night...;-)
