Huge Linux Desktop Deals Get HP Thinking

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

An anonymous reader notes an article in CRN about HP recently cutting deals for multi-thousands of Linux desktops. With all the talk about whether Dell will offer pre-installed desktop Linux any time soon, in the end HP may beat them to that particular punch.

    Yeah, LOL LINUX IS TEH SUX! I'M COOL CUZ I have half an opinion about something...

    Like I've said before. There are those who mock, and then the rest of us who just use it, look at your comment and ask "wtf drugs is he on?" Surprise surprise, lots of people derive value from OSS tools. Even more shockingly many use them for gain and profit from not having to shell out license fees

    In your mind Linux [and I'll just venture a guess, OSS] is "teh sux, LOL" which is fine with me, you can keep paying the lazy-tax.
