I checked and the list price for this seems to be just under $800, so this appears to be more than a $500 saving. It appears to be a complete version of Unix including full networking and comes with all Internet sofware and GUI support. What other questions should I be asking about this product before I buy? Does anyone know anything about the product, or the company and the offer? The company lists itself as: Continua Inc. 823 Kimballwood Ave Highland Park, IL 60035 847-432-1758 800-671-0151 fax: 847-432-1739
