gPC Wal-Mart has announced that they will no longer be selling the Everex Linux-based gPC desktop system in their retail stores with spokeswoman Melissa O’Brien stating “this really wasn’t what our customers were looking for”. Wal-Mart began testing the notion of selling Linux-based systems in retail stores last October by introducing the $199 “Green gPC” in approximately 600 stores.

While the gPC was apparently sold out in retail stores, it wasn’t enough to prevent Wal-Mart from declaring that they would not restock their inventory. The company will instead focus on online sales of the Linux systems which now also include the Everex gPC2 and the Everex CloudBook. The gPC2 also sells for $199 without a monitor while the CloudBook goes for $399.
