computer exchange now sells linux computers... let eveyrone know... i installed 2 pentium 200 mhz computers with 64 megs of ram with linux... they have old hardware modems in them, and everything works nicely (they run redhat 7.3, which installs very nicely). go by the store and let them know you are interested.. they also have a bunch of old laptops that i can put linux on for you... if you want a new computer with it, let em know, ill take care of it...
maybe i should post this to the newbie list as well... hmmmm... and yea, i said this earlier, just thought it was pertinent to this thread as well, or maybe it was teh same thread and im just suffering form sleep deprivation... on a lighter note, i have 2 part time jobs and am about to attend baton rouge community college full time... dont plan on seeing me much... :( --mat On Thu, 2002-08-22 at 10:27, Nashid Hasan wrote: > We Want Linux, a self-funded non-commercial group of IT professionals, > would like to see the computing consumer have as many options in the > marketplace as possible, and so we'd like to see those who have an interest > in GNU/Linux be able to try out a demo machine in stores like CompUSA and > Best Buy, the same way they can right now with Windows. > We also feel the potential GNU/Linux desktop user ought to have the same > opportunity as those who use Windows, that is, to buy a computer with > GNU/Linux pre-loaded and thereby avoid the hassle of installing an > operating system.
