Linux Mint will come with the new MintBox 2.
I want to see more distro to do that for the users.
What do you think if will see in the future Fedora Box, Gentoo Box and Debian Box?
Linux it's a free OS, why don't have some low price for hardware to promote the distro?
The donate way is poor and many users don't see it.
So I think the MintBox is a great idea.
See this comparison of the MintBox basic, the MintBox pro and the MintBox 2.
