Actually, your brain has a mass that is a hell of a lot more than this thing. However, seeing as this thing is technically a peripheral of your brain, it means that not having it means not having any EXCESS weight/mass.
I'm actually using KDE 3.1.3 on hardware that is MUCH older than my school's boxes.
I've also used the "free as in beer" angle, and that didn't work. I think I did say that there would be more learning and less rebooting or something like that.
By the way, they are considering my other recommendation of Windows 2000 over XP (most of their PCs are P3-866s with 128MB RAM). It's not that they don't listen to me at all, it's that they don't understand Linux, and would rather run Windows.
If anyone's made a handheld C64, it'll survive the slashdotting - a custom web server for the C64 survived, along with two VNC servers, and a RealAudio stream from the cassette drive.
This code is now part of the Contiki project, by the way.
I've tried to convince them of the stability and efficiency of Linux, and told them that Microsoft is going to lock them in soon, but they refuse to listen.
Apple2History.org is also VERY good, especially if Apple I/II-era history is your thing. VERY light Mac coverage, but it was written towards the Apple II, not the Mac.
I cheated - I actually had an AppleMouse// (except all I had was the mouse, the manual, and a mousepaint disk - no controller card for me!) In fact, the mouse itself was the Apple MO100 (AFAIK), same as the one used on the pre-ADB Macs. About three apps worked with that mouse (I had the hardest time getting Publish It to even go into the config panel - damn broken//c keyboard).
The//c I used was great, except for the fact that the whole computer once got rained on big time. It was dried out, but the keyboard was damaged, so many keys stuck, and several keys would repeat MUCH too quickly. To see the effect, dunk an old Giga Pet in water for a while, and after it's dried out, try to use it. Similar keyswitches (but the Apple had plastic keys with something to give them some click), same water susceptibility.
ReactOS (formerly FreeWin95, a project to create a Windows 95 clone) is a project to create a Windows 2000 clone. It's at version 0.2 (just a couple of days ago, and I thought they hadn't made it to 0.1.6 yet). It'll have Wine in there to actually get decent Win32 support. BTW, the rosapps all run great on Win2K/XP, but they sucked ass on 0.1.1 when I tried it, which is good, seeing that they're coding against Win2K, and not ROS.
It's not for use. The color-coded setup guide probably says "Install the included FreeDOS operating system or (recommended) purchase an operating system and install it*.
Dell does not support operating systems not included with this system."
Many large OEMs are in agreements that say that an OS has to be bundled, and it must not be Linux. For a while (AFAIK), HP was doing the same thing before they got their agreement changed.
Well, they do share Win32. The WinNT implementation is the more complete implementation, but most code will run on the Win95 implementation (the least complete "full" implementation). After all, a Win16 virus could still do damage to even a WinXP system (not very well, however).
Technically this would be a trojan whose payload is a virus (the transmission vectors are e-mail (you have to open it) and Kazaa (you have to download it), so it wouldn't be MS holes - it's a user stupidity hole.
I'm definitely thinking some nutcase who REALLY wants to see SCO die, and has something against Kazaa. Attacking Windows will get people to switch to Linux (good for Linux loony, bad for RIAA), and attacking SCO might get them to back off (good for Linux loony, bad for RIAA if SCO is in bed with Microsoft). As for Kazaa, maybe Mr. Loony had a Windows system too many to clean spyware off of, and got ticked. Attacking Kazaa makes sense for the RIAA, but this attacks Windows, which is the ideal platform for the RIAA to use DRM on. It also attacks SCO, whose downfall would mean the downfall of the Linux lawsuit (they WILL lose, bastard - you DON'T need to attack them!), meaning Linux would live on as competition to the DRM platform, Windows. It's not the RIAA.
Certainly if you run the latest games in the highest resolution with 8x AA, your video card will be the bottleneck, but often times only these extreme situations make that true.
Then again, even a high end GeForce (because the Radeon wouldn't work with the AGP bus) won't make a P100 with 512MB of RAM and Windows XP Pro SP1 get over 14.5FPS on Q3A (if THG is to be believed - they usually aren't).

From the URL, I'll say Gumstix.

What about a shirt pocket? It'd fit in there...

Ah, but does it run the WinXP licenses that I'm afraid they've already purchased? Didn't think so.
BTW, "4 types of gray" usually includes both black and white. It does on the old Game Boy or on older Palm PDAs, anyway.

Shall I use the Wine angle?

You mean we do support Linux and OSS, not we do not support Linux or OSS, right?

However, some Joe Blow is going to see $319, buy it, and try to mess with FreeDOS. "Whar's the Intarweb Explorer icon?"

Same here on Opera 7.23 Linux x86.
Also, it seems like N Series is a type of customer, as I get the same page with any letter or number instead of n.

Actually, it's got GCC, and it's also got SuSE, Mandrake, Fedora, and FreeBSD.
Assuming default configs, at home KDE (SuSE), at work GNOME (RedHat). This is a bit outdated (2000), however.
