Personally, I could care less about desktops, but when I finally get a laptop, I'd really like to have Linux pre-installed on it. I don't want Microsoft's OS sales numbers to get any more inflated than they already are. I'd rather get Linux, even if it's a crappy distro that I'll overwrite anyway. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ Imagine what we can / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ imagine! \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
