HOORAY For Linux.

As early as next week, Walmart.com will begin selling Microtel PCs loaded with the Mandrake Linux distribution. Keep your eye on Walmart.com for new Microtel systems bearing the Mandrake logo. The systems will sell alongside the newly announced Lindows-based PCs, say sources. And continue to look for more online retail envelope-pushing from Wal-Mart's online wing, of all places.

As much as I hate WalMart (can't stand the local super WM - place is so damned huge I can never find anything, and you can't park any closer than 1/4 mile from the front door) and their business practices, my hat is off to them on this one.

Datagram from Jim Lascola incoming on netlink socket

And if other big names than Walmart.com begin to do this as well then Microsoft is in loads of trouble. Remember, success of Microsoft now hangs enterily off keeping the public unaware (and most certainly ignorant and untried) of GNU/Linux.

In this case, it's too bad, because the system with Linux on it will be just as good, but Joe Redneck will assume it's crap.
