HP to Globally Launch Linux-Based PCs

Posted by CowboyNeal on Wednesday March 24, 2004 @10:27AM from the hitting-the-bigtime dept.

Rade T. writes "Reuters UK reports that HP, the No. 1 personal computer and computer printer maker, said on Wednesday that its putting its weight behind personal computers that run the Linux operating system. I guess this is the first serious step towards solving the problems that Linux faces on the Desktop/Laptop."

Oh, boo fucking hoo.
If the USA would get its educational system in order it wouldn't have this problem. Learn to do something more than order pizza and wave the Visa card around and you won't have a thing to worry about.
