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.

    Rednecks can't spell anyway, so they probably think it's exactly the same as what they had previously.

    The funny part is that in beta it's probally more stable than Windoze is in it's final release. The other thing is that if you're buying your computer at Wal-Mart, then odds are that you could be handed a Macintrash, be told that it runs windows, and you wouldn't know the difference.

    You're darn right about that. I'm a redneck and proud of it, and the BSA ain't gettin' anywhere NEAR my computer. My friends Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson guarantee that.

    Whoever modded me a Troll apparently didn't see my attempt at humor or doesn't have a sense of humor.
