I wonder how many folks here have read the fine print in the latest of Acer's "Sub 40k" notebook ads. They bundle Linux on them, and mention at the bottom in small print, something like this: "The linux that is preloaded is a free version and would have limited functionality until another operating system is installed". Is this another way for these hardware vendors to appease Microsoft while trying to sell budget notebooks bundled with Linux? - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya * Puroga Technologies * sandip-/[email protected] Work: http://www.puroga.com * Home/Blog: http://www.sandipb.net/blog PGP/GPG Signature: 51A4 6C57 4BC6 8C82 6A65 AE78 B1A1 2280 A129 0FF3 _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd-cunTk1MwBs8/[email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd-cunTk1MwBs8/[email protected]/ Event: Freedel 2005, 17th & 18th September, 2005 - http://freedel.in
