The Acer 2428NWXCi comes with Linpus Linux pre-installed. On starting it up for the first time I was wondering what type of desktop I will be logged into and to my surprise, it booted up into a root command prompt. It would not recognize the 'startx' command. No wonder it has 'Limitted functionality' for those who expect a full fledged desktop environment.
Yeah the whole "Linux pre-installed" thing is a sham used by the vendors. We'd like to think that this *fad* would contribute to increases linux-usage, on the contrary it only serves to scare more ppl from it. The bare-bones systems that they serve wouldn't even appease a Linux enthusiast like yourself - imagine what impression it would give to a complete newbie!! . farazs -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
