AOL's new Linux PC

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the seems-almost-inevitable dept.

minus_273 writes " MSNBC (of all places ) has an intersting article about AOLs new PC. We have already heard of Lindows , WALMART PC and there was speculation of AOL Red Hat. Well, it looks like this is what AOL decided to do. All 3 are mixed into one. AOL now has a beta 7.0 client that is distributed with Lindows along with AIM and Netscape. I wonder if this stuff will work on normal Linux without WINE."

    I am so sick and tired of people making snide comments like "of all places" when MSNBC reports on a non-windows happening in the world.

    People, it's becoming cliche so many of you are making comments like that. For crying out loud, doesn't that mean that maybe your assumptions should be questioned!

    Where is the most unlikely spot you've found and AOL CD dispenser. It seems logical to find them at CompUSA, Walmart, maybe even Albertsons or another large grocery store.

    Last week I saw an AOL CD case at the carwash and at a gas station.

    Where is the oddest place you've found "1,000 hours free" CDs?
