Also on the same subject, Linux is free so the money is somewhere else, in
service or... in hardware...
Why not selling a Mandrake PC ? Do not wait for IBM, HP, Compaq to sell a
Linux PC in supermarkets... Do it yourself. Buy a small PC brand and sell
the PC with Mandrake on it... A PC for the masses (as Mandrake is the Linux
for the masses), nothing fancy, but something tightly integrated with a
design box (like Qube or Mac)...
