Cool, a full system including wireless kb and mouse but without HDD.  

A great bargain - a HDD will only cost $50-$60 or so, bringing the cost of the full system up to about $650.

Beats the ODW at $999 by $350 for the same hardware.

Seems anyone buying a Pegasos should get it from Freescale not from Genesi.

:-( Michal doesn't have time to work on the Peg port at the moment... But PPC Linux Hosted is "round the corner" ;-)

PPCG40009 Kit Contains


The PegasosPPC Thin Client includes everything offered in PPCG40003 (less YDL and MorphOS) and network boots from the PegasosPPC File Server.


So you have to buy the OS separately.
