2004: Year of the Penguin?
houseofmore writes "The Toronto star suggests that things are looking good for the Linux desktop this year as more heavy weight commercial vendors get behind it, including HP, Novell, IBM, Sun and... Walmart. It also mentions Red Hat's plan to offer a new corporate desktop edition of their enterprise desktop sometime this year. The article states that more and more companies are considering (and) switching to Linux for their desktop due to expensive Windows licensing fees and high-profile security vulnerabilities."
Won't linux turn into windows. The kind of people who shop at Walmart, I would assume aren't very computer savy. The whole reason linux is so great is because these people aren't on it. Sure everyone wants linux to do great, but do you really want to go over to your mother's house to fix her computer because she doesn't understand a commandline. The only reason I like them offering linux, is because the overall cost of a prebuilt computer is cheaper.
My gf's a bitch?
