The sleaze has gotten out of hand; it's time to roast a group of 20 or so
companies whose profits are directly linked to creating fear in their
customers,,,

- I think most people feel the same way about anti-virus companies but I
can't remember reading to many articles about it.

Tonetheman writes "Walmart is now shipping low cost PC's with Lindows
pre-installed. And yes I know there was a review earlier on Slashdot about
installing Linux on one of these bad boys. This is different and much more
exciting. To think of the legions of rednecks who could now possibly be
running Lindows instead of Windows..." There's a Newsforge story too.
Hopefully Lindows makes a good impression.

- Just ignore the "Wal-Mart customers are rednecks" insinuation, if you
think it's an insult.  Im new to Linux so I don't have an opinion about to
many distros.  My gut tells me that Wal-Mart has the right intentions, but
they went with Lindows solely on the naming similarities.  What do you guys
think.  Personally I think what Wal-Mart is doing is awesome, and ive always
loved the store.  I don't think you will see this company falling for a
Micr$oft bribe anytime soon.
