The Future of Linux on Laptops

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the penguins-on-the-move dept.

katie_york writes "CoolTechZone discusses the future of Linux on laptops after HP and Ubuntu's recent announcement. 'What would be even more exciting for Linux is if other OEMs, similar to HP, took the same approach by partnering with selected distributions of consumer friendly Linux and started offering an alternative not only in third world regions, but also in the United States. In addition to that, support for Linux on the desktop side of things would be just as welcomed.'"

      you do not understand that when commander taco forces all users to go through stupid captcha shit to post their post it means that trolls have won. commander taco is unsophisticated and cannot understand anything other than adding more ridiculous bullshit to slash code "oh, we must have a zoo, we must have friends and freaks and fucks, we must have little tic-tacs and a two minute delay and a twenty second delay and a check for open proxies and a captcha check and a biometric anal probe and a erotic anal probe and more bullshit. he fails it, victory is declared for trolls
