Mandrake Hits Wal-Mart (.com)
caveat writes: "The Register is reporting that Wal-Mart is shipping PCs with Mandrake preinstalled. 'Prices range from $391 for a 900MHz Duron machine to $648 for a 2GHz Pentium 4 with CD-RW.' more power to them." So now walmart.com customers seeking a pre-installed Free OS aren't limited to Lindows. I wonder if any Wal-Mart manager is brave enough to actually set up a few machines in-store. Update: 07/15 15:35 GMT by T : As many people have pointed out, the systems running Mandrake -- just like the Lindows machines on offer -- are only available through Wal-Mart's website.
Worthless company. Built off the backs of others. Then again what company isn't.
how can you mod this as offtopic? Clearly this person is expressing their great joy over the fact that the conglomerate monopolistic-like walmart is selling his/her beloved distribution of linux.
I for one find it amusing that you people trash Microsoft because of it's practices, but praise walmart because it embraces Linux a little bit. Here's some tips for you: Walmart increasingly is pushing its nose into small communities where it drives all the local mom and pop shops out of business, but then gives every non-profit organization in the community a few hundred bucks so they'll praise how great walmart is without realizing they are now no different than every other small town with a walmart in the world. Fuck walmart.
Quick how do I mod up, this is FUCKING hilarious! "Walmart Linux?" hahaha my god thats funny.

int main()
{
int i;
for (;;)
{
printf("Walmart sucks\n");
}
}
To be extremely anal and OT:
What's the "i" for???? Also your main() returns an int but you don't have a return....
I would implement that like:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
while(1)
fputs("Walmart sucks\n", stdout);
return 0;
}
I have _way_ too much time on my hands....
