Centrino-based Linux Laptops
sebFlyte writes "Intel has lifted its ban on Linux-based laptops carrying its Centrino brand... It obviously makes very little difference technically what name is on the outside of the box, but does this represent a major philosophical shift for the chipmaker, or are they just leaping upon the nearest bandwagon in pursuit of a few extra bucks?"
Kind of patronizing, no? What a joke, the idea that only now is linux 'mature' enough to be allowed next to the oh-so-holy Centrino brand. They are very, very clearly insensitive clods.
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch.
Heaven forbid a for-profit corporation do something in an attempt to make money.
