| Time: 08:13 EST/13:13 GMT | News Source: Lindows.com Press Release | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||
|
In response to great demand for inexpensive computing solutions, Lindows.com, Inc. is now offering a flat-fee educational program. The program, the first of its kind, allows any educational institution to install the LindowsOS operating system and educational software on an unlimited number of computers for just $500 a year. Any educational institution wishing to take advantage of this new program can visit http://www.lindows.com/education "There has been great demand from schools for an easy-to-use, affordable Linux solution," said Michael Robertson, chief executive officer of Lindows.com, Inc. "Many schools get computers donated to them, but then can't afford to equip them with a modern operating system and software--until now." | ||

In other news, it looks like Mandrake is heading for bankrupcy.

FUD - What's interesting is that the Mandrake news is not mentioned on /.
/. was more than happy to post the news about Mandrake looking for handouts, but why not Chapter 11 news? You call it mstroll.net, but at least Activewin is willing to post negative news about Microsoft, whereas Linux advocacy sites generally act like ostriches and stuff their heads down holes. |

FUD - Yeah, they finally posted it. /. is usually a day or two behind other news sources.
I'm still shocked. Usually they hide the bad news on some back page. You know things like patches to mySQL because they won't impact anybody. :) |

| I'm a troll because I pointed out that Mandrake has essentially filed for Chapter 11? Whatever, dude. |

| A new product offering by one distro and the bankrupcy of another seem to be along the lines of the same topic to me. As for cheap shots, a few hours later the story was posted as an AW headline. |

FUD - Really? I wasn't aware that Activewin.com was a Linux news site. And didn't BobSmith, the mstroll, post it here first? :) Didn't The Register make note of it first?
Hmm, let me check... Nope still says "The Most Activated Windows Resource" |

| hippie, IIRC back in its inception ActiveWin was heavy into DHTML effects (you remember how important the word "Active" was in Microsoft marketting, right?) and they derived the tag line from there. With the extreme lack of DHTML in the latest iterration of the site, it doesn't seem to have much of a meaning. (I still think it is much better than 'where unprofessional journalism looks better' or 'news for nerds' though.) |
