Not exactly OT, Mandrake now comes pre-installed in New Zealand! Yet another breakthrough for Linux. From http://www.linuxhardware.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/07/0611226&mode=thread :
"Vik Olliver writes "Here in New Zealand, the area's major Australia/NZ electronics retailer Dick Smiths Electronics (DSE) is now selling PCs with Mandrake Linux & OpenOffice pre-installed for roughly 2/3 the price of Microsoft-encumbered boxes; NZ$1099 or about US$540. That price includes a 17" monitor and tax..." Apparently someone from nzlug phoned DSE to enquire about these PCs and they have already sold out and are getting more. They were surprised at how fast they went. AFAIK they have only been available from the start of the week! This is excellent news indeed!!
