McAfee Manufactures Virus Threat Posted by michael on Friday June 14, @10:30AM from the virus-laboratory-has-new-sinister-meaning dept. The sleaze has gotten out of hand; it's time to roast a group of 20 or so companies whose profits are directly linked to creating fear in their customers,,, found at: http://features.slashdot.org/features/02/06/14/1343223.shtml?tid=166 - I think most people feel the same way about anti-virus companies but I can't remember reading to many articles about it.

And yes I know there was a review earlier on Slashdot about installing Linux on one of these bad boys. This is different and much more exciting. To think of the legions of rednecks who could now possibly be running Lindows instead of Windows..." There's a Newsforge story too. Hopefully Lindows makes a good impression. found at: http://slashdot.org/articles/02/06/14/1457251.shtml?tid=163 - Just ignore the "Wal-Mart customers are rednecks" insinuation, if you think it's an insult. Im new to Linux so I don't have an opinion about to many distros. My gut tells me that Wal-Mart has the right intentions, but they went with Lindows solely on the naming similarities. What do you guys think. Personally I think what Wal-Mart is doing is awesome, and ive always loved the store. I don't think you will see this company falling for a Micr$oft bribe anytime soon.
