Re: [Eug-lug]Thiz Linux
Fry's Electronics frequently sells budget (cheap crap) PC's with Thiz Linux preinstalled. I think it's just a way to get around the OS barrier and sell systems. Of course they aren't going to take the time to do a better distro because it's numbers that are more important to them. I really don't have an idea of how useable the system is out of the box though. A WalMart Lindows PC is probably a better buy for an absolute beginner and their first PC. At $200 for a PC it can be considered a throwaway. I can't really build a good system that I'd even consider using for much less than $400. Of course you get what you pay for. That's why I like my $300 graphics card. --- Bryan Kane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has anyone used Thiz Linux?

Thiz Linuz Desktop 6.0 http://www.chaintech.thizlinux.com/products/thizlinux60/tld60_main.php Looks like they most are catering to the asian markets (see top-level URL http://www.thizlinux.com ), which might explain why the cheap boxes at Frys come with it preinstalled. ___ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
