Not sure I would base a product on Mint, but the hardware looks perfectly good (looks a lot like what I am using right now) and the price is not the price for a bare bones unit but for the solution including training materials and support (remember it isn't being sold to self-supporting geeks) it certainly isn't crazy money. If it is priced right to support a profitable business based on Open Source that is great. Valerie Singleton on board sorting out publicity is fantastic. If people say "Linux, oh yes I have heard about that, it is that computer thingie that doesn't get viruses and is easy to use" then I am all in favour!
