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 not sure of $199 is a cheap enough price point to overcome the shame of walking past a WalMart greeter with a brand new computer. That is soooooooooooooo white trash.

    Ever heard of MacOS X?
    It's dumby-proof but still not as lame as windows.

    In fact it's actually been said to be the best OS around. Many linux-users have converted to OSX-users when they've tried it for a while.
