Huge Linux Desktop Deals Get HP Thinking

Posted by kdawson on from the git-er-done dept.

    I couldn't even buy a Dell laptop with XP a couple of weeks ago--have some specialized software that still doesn't run on Vista--had to find one from HP

    Well you could always build your own XP PC.

    His knighthood is not of the order to garner the title of Sir, you must be British for that to apply. Otherwise you are limited to the suffix K.B.E/a. (Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire).
