The Ubuntu, Redhat or Vector Linux installation programs never gave me an option but yes some software I installed afterwards did.

What FreeDOS, DR-DOS, BeOS?
Oh Windows, well that isn't my OS, it's Bill Gates' and Steve Ballmer's.
--- Quote from: piratePenguin ---He was talking about GNU/Linux, which is what the 100$ laptop will run. GNU/Linux doesn't have much malware floating about. It generally runs very stable, and has lots of different choices for window manager etc., so it'll be stable and fast on even old hardware, or newer 100$ hardware.

But it isn't the only operating system that will run on old/cheap hardware and it probably isn't the best for every purpose either.

Good thing they're not the only choices you have when it comes to installing programs on GNU/Linux.

Interesting. Since when did you own BeOS?

So what, it's what the 100$ laptop people decided it would run, at least by default.

Autopackage, and what I do (compile from source). Hell I don't even know if RPM and deb can do it. Probably with source RPMs...
