The U.S. as a second-class Linux citizen | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||
|
Some PC manufactures such as HP sell PCs without software giving the option to chose an operating system to customers from the home segment. Others like Compaq are choosing to load Linux, the free operating system on to their computers." Why aren't U.S. citizens given this same choice? Every time I consent to an "executive briefing" from a major U.S. hardware vendor that's trying to push Linux servers, the first question I ask is, "When will I be able to buy a laptop preloaded with Linux from you?" I also ask about desktops. Sometimes they point to an ultra-high-end workstation model and say, "See, we sell Linux on desktops." | ||
