You know what, a lot of us don't have (and don't want to have) our privacy invaded just to read rehashed news stories from elsewhere. Please stop giving nytimes.com free(?) advertising.

OT? IBM Laptop with Linux? by Anonymous Coward · 2002-09-16 04:04 · Score: -1, Offtopic

this may be slightly OT, but I want to buy a laptop, and the IBM Thinkpad is near the top of the list, but I won't buy it if I have to pay for WinXP. The laptop will run Linux only.

When will IBM offer a 'naked' laptop, or just one with Red Hat preinstalled? (I'll throw Slack on it once I get it) Nice that they're offering this on servers, but what about laps and workstations to the 'general public'?
