Hey I know, let's use GEM instead!

[Just another Joe]

C'mon, let's all use OS/2.
If loaded correctly it is bulletproof. If loaded incorrectly it stinks.

I'm all for it! Using Mandrake 8.2/KDE 3.0.2 myself and very happy. Don't miss the free new Guarddog 2.0 firewall especially if you're using a broadband connection. I use ZoneAlarm occasionally on the Win side but really prefer Linux and Guarddog.

Slightly off-topic, but WMT dropped like a rock near the close today (49.88; down 6.66%!). I heard an order went out to store managers to drastically reduce labor costs in the coming weeks but don't have a reference. Falling consumer sentiment is starting to affect the discount retailers???

I don't think this will go anywhere.

Who buys computers at Walmart? Generally, it isnt the computer-savvy consumer. They'll see a computer for $299, and not realize that Lindows isn't gonna be able to run EVERYTHING Windows can. It'd be a customer-service nightmare.

Nothing against linux. Its a good OS if you know what you're doing. But the person who'd buy a computer at walmart generally doesnt.

They've added Mandrake Linux to the mix.

Ahh, well. This penguin here is flapping his wings and waddling around happy. ;-)

Windows?
Linux?
Unix?
Lindows?

Nah, none of 'em match up to this:
Easy to use
Advanced
Tons of features
Runs any software ever written
Very fast
Complete MS Office and Word Perfect compatibility
Extremely small

And, best of all, it's free and you can run it on your computer right now!! Takes just a minute to download. Be sure to explore ALL the options. You'll be amazed, I promise!
