    What is all this bullshit about Lunix being free


    Is Lunix a new Linux distribution from SCO? If it is from SCO then it is definately not _free_

  3. Flash Support out of the Box by Ween · · Score: 0, Troll

    I have been evaluating linux lately for the desktop user as an alternative to the microsoft tax in my business. I sell computers to end users. My very first criteria was flash support out of the box. If I went to a website with flash and it did not work immediately or i was not presented an option to install flash, then the distro failed. I immediately tried another distro. Yes I do realize that you can go to macromedia and download a tar or rpm, but joe end user will know nothing about that. When linux gets that easy, it will be ready for the desktop.
