Walmart Ships PCs with Lindows OS

Posted by michael on from the penguins-in-the-heartland dept.

Tonetheman writes "Walmart is now shipping low cost PC's with Lindows pre-installed. And yes I know there was a review earlier on Slashdot about installing Linux on one of these bad boys. This is different and much more exciting. To think of the legions of rednecks who could now possibly be running Lindows instead of Windows..." There's a Newsforge story too. Hopefully Lindows makes a good impression.

    Actually, the most redneckian person I know was into building computers and stuff. I guess he thought it wasn't much different than working on cars. He even kept it on the front yard with the case open, sitting on a cinder block. Looked kinda artistic with the yellow grass neatly outlining it.

    Please take a moment to back up your statement that XP Home is "shitty" compared to XP Pro. What exactly makes it "shitty" and what makes Pro decent?
