It comes with a lowly 128mb ram, a 40gig hard drive, a Sempron 2200, and everything else integrated. Since I am a Debian devotee, on it went, everything works flawlessly. Got 512mb ram for Christmas, and it works better. Can be overclocked easily. No complaints, and yes it runs Open Office just fine. Won't do any 3d stuff, but games and Linux don't mix, and alas, I don't think the Mac is any better off. There is plenty of Ham apps avail for Linux, and Wine is used to run MorseRunner, Echolink, and SwitcherCad LTSpice. My latest PC is a $200 to door Fry’s Linspire cheapy.
