HP To Sell PCs With Mandrake 9.1
theoddball writes "HP just announced a new PC model (HP Compaq d220) that's available preloaded with Windows or Mandrake 9.1. The machine appears to be targeted to business users, although it's on the lower-end of the scale - specs are here. Mandrake also has a press release announcing the deal, which will grow to include four other HP models. Is this a sign that top tier manufacturers are taking Linux more seriously, or at least seeing a profitable niche?" We commented on MandrakeSoft's status update yesterday.
...Customers also can opt for an Intel Pentium 4 2.4-gigahertz cock in their arse ...
i wonder how longer will it take before Linux hackers get Linux running on it.
This is such an obvious (and pathetic) troll, I *almost* couldn't be bothered to reply to it... Get a life, MCSE boy ;-)
What happened to the page widening trolls? I miss that....
In my opinion, Speed Racer may be secretly satanic, and we will examine this below. First we have a few anagrams. To explain the use of the word "demon" in an anagram below, we must mention the lyrics of the Speed Racer song. The lyrics below to the popular Speed Racer song show that he is clearly called, "a demon" and that he's "a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone". This doesn't only apply to racing. What do demons do? They look to ruin human lives/souls.
The first anagram we will look at is "speed racer demon" and one result is: Ascended Emperor (and a reference to romans and other strange things). There are other more troubling results you will find if you spend a few minutes taking pieces from the lyrics below and checking them for anagrams. Now look at the lyrics below, and remember, it says, "there's dangerous work to do you bet your life" think about those words. It says it right there, that he's a demon.
"Here he comes Here comes Speed Racer
He's a demon on wheels He's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone. He's gainin' on you so you better look alive. He's busy revvin' up a powerful Mach 5. And when the odds are against him And there's dangerous work to do You bet your life Speed Racer Will see it through. Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer Go Speed Racer, Go! He's off and flyin' as he guns the car around the track
He's jammin' down the pedal like he's never comin' back Adventure's waitin' just ahead.
Go Speed Racer Go Speed Racer Go Speed Racer, Go!"
Congrats to HP for being one of the first major PC companies to preload Linux on the desktop. Maybe they finally realized that businesses like security...
As for Mandrake, eh.. it's good for some people, personally I like Gentoo, tho.

I do not make any sense why
... on a serious note, in terms of simplicity Lindows is an alternative but Gentoo is a geeks (or at least newbie geeks) zone only.
Probably because your education system has not provided you with a firm understanding of the english language.
Can anybody spell Lindows, or Gentoo
Yep, you can spell just fine, as can most of us. It's more your use of commas, your terrible grammar and your inability to string a collection of words together to form a sensible sentence.
