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.

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....
