Here's a bizarre one:  A company called Cosmos Engineering
(www.cosmoseng.com) sells a product called "Linux on a Disk" which is an
actual 1GB IDE hard drive with Linux preinstalled.  The price is $259.

Is it just me, or does that sound like a pretty peculiar way to install
Linux?  It won't even make the hard parts of installation (XF86Config,
kernel config, network setup) any easier because they have no idea about
the rest of the system it is going into!

All I can say is... weird!
