Maybe time to start exporting PC hardware without operating systems to China ;-) Actually just put Linux on because then if they want to have a machine without an OS its very very simple to do. I doubt that the Chinese are stupid enough not to have realised this. In fact if I was a HD manufacturer I might be inclined to sell HDs with a standard Linux install in place so any system builder that was building bare PCs would then buy my drives and just carry on as before. -- Ian Lynch www.theINGOTs.org www.opendocumentfellowship.org www.schoolforge.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
