What's nice about the gPC is that you can do quite a bit WITH the 
computer without having to do anything TO it.  I purchased one and I 
have found it quite nice.  Here are some of the things I've done with it:

- connect to a network with ethernet
- surf the web with FireFox
- send an e-mail with Gmail
- play a video on YouTube
- write a document with OpenOffice.org Writer
- play a DVD (DreamWorks SKG's Madagascar)
- adjust the layout of the desktop

Make no mistake, it's not a gaming machine.  But it does do what it was 
advertised to do and at what I would consider a competitive price point.

BTW, it runs a standard Ubuntu Gutsy, Debian Etch, and Windows XP just 
fine, too.
