Its probably a moot point right now anyway. As far as I can tell, the OS-less computers are only a pilot program at walmart.com, and won't be sold at physical stores yet anyway. > Hate/Like walmart doesn't come into the equation.

Better to encourage people to buy from small shops like GNS or Tran, or if they want to buy from a chain store, at least buy from an electronics chain store where there's at least a chance of getting help. Anyway, sorry I kicked this thread into OT land - I knew I should have just let it go ;). I've got other reasons to hate Walmart, but I _will_ just let them go :). -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) crumley at fields.space.umn.edu |Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |Dmitry's free,Jon's next? http://faircopyright.org
