Wal-Mart Sells PCs Preloaded With Sun's Linux

Posted by timothy on from the from-high-end-to-everyman dept.

badboy3062 writes "Wal-Mart this week started selling Microtel PCs preloaded with Sun's Java Desktop System. Prices start at under $300 for a system without a floppy drive or monitor. Jonathan Schwartz, Sun's executive vice president for software, says this move is just another step in its plan to gain new audiences for its technologies."

    I suppose anybody who has been reading slashdot for more than a week did. What was the point of your post? To show off your ultra high ID and ignorance?

    Heya! You betcha :) I was going to have something from "Live to Win" but the whole damn song is pretty cool
    Live To Win
    (Kilmister - Clarke - Taylor)

    You know you can't be hurt,
    You gotta believe in your star,
    They'll always treat you like dirt,
    They can only push you so far,
    They can't take it away,
    If you've got something to say,
    They might try and fence you in,
    But you've only gotta Live To Win

    I know it's hard, a natural drag,
    It's a hassle to fight,
    If you don't wanna be a slag,
    If you believe you're right,
    They've got the power now,
    But soon it's our hour now,
    We all know where we been,
    We all been Living to Win

    You mustn't shout it out loud,
    Don't create a scene,
    Don't indulge in being proud
    It only feeds their scheme,
    Break down the wall,
    Live it up it's their time to fall,
    Anarchy is coming in,
    If you know we Live To Win
