it was never really "free" anyway

freedom

free of spyware

free to modify

that's why the saps that used it are slugheads, and now they are mozilla users.

Fry's Electronics is selling a 1.1ghz Celeron with Linux installed at $299.00. It doesn't get any better than that !!
Start selling M$ stock !

The biggest issue awarded Linux geeks here is that the Opens Source revolution has sparked a new software market. IEEE and POSIX are simply the background for a host of new entirely compatible OSes. Lindows is a step in the right direction, back compatibility, and Unix reliability, along with POSIX compliancy. In any case the momentum is building the economy is heading in the right direction.

That's why you get the one with Mandrake on it and forget Lindows (ick).
Someone please remove this account. Thanks...

If a retailer is at least offering an alternative to M$ then it has to be seen as a step in the right direction to slapping Gate$ down. Add some marketing and Linux will get the exposure it needs to be seen as a credible, viable alternative. I am on just about every software vendors mailing list and yet, I have not once received a single peice of information about Linux or M$ o$$ice alternatives. What is up with that ? I have had to go out and look for information on Linux. I think Gate$ could be in for the shock of his life.

Actually gates is doing everything he can to keep people from learning about alternatives. It's kinda crappy. Anyway, maybe a few years from now I can start my own computer manufacturing company, I'll start a gateway like company, and offer discounts to people who order an Box with something besides windows preinstalled on it. (I won't tell them that we won't instal MS software, that would be MS like) If I don't go under, I'll try and get a message to you guys to buy my stocks, that way we can all become filthy rich, and not feel guilty about the means we achieved it.  I kinda think that Lindows is a bad choice, I mean, just listen to the name, they are only trying to take Ms's place, I don't trust them.
