HP Starts Pushing Desktop Linux

iswm writes "HP has supposedly been selling MandrakeSoft Linux on the desktop for a while but has been so quiet about it that for all intents and purposes it's been a stealth operation. That's all about to change, with two new Linux desktops ready for rolling out by HP to the North American SMB market, both boxes to be sold with Mandrake Linux."

Microsoft did in fact charge per CPU shipped -- but they were forced to stop that in 1994 or so, and the ABM slashbots still are recycling the same old garbage information while flush with envy towards operating environments with working clipboards.

Yeah but why would you think that your God is looking out for you any more than he is loking out for that guy in India?
