Linux (Ubuntu) PC anyone?

Apparently Wal-Mart is going to be selling off it's low cost green PC's, equipped with Ubuntu - a flavor of linux that's pretty powerful and quite user friendly. Even though the software is open source and unlike Microsoft, there is no required registration or activation, sales of the PC's have been somewhat lackluster.

Not a bad deal considering the PC is only $199 (without monitor).

So everyone who complains about Microsoft and Windows usually does so while typing our their tirade using...Windows software. - Go figure!

Yes, you're probably right, Lonnie.

For those who would like to try using some Open Source (Free)
software try Open Office. It's a suite of programs like
Office with database, spreadsheet, word processor, etc.

Very nice and it works with various platforms (OS's).

Check it at www.openoffice.org

I might add it appears to have all the features of Microsoft Office, except that Open Office is free. [8D]
