Dazie,
Bill is my friend. He left a big chain dangling, and I pulled it.
NewsForge is the premier Linux and Open Source news site, and 3 people
on this list work on it. The standard pattern is that we break a story,
and days or weeks later ZD and others come around and write articles
obviously based on ours. It's both depressing and amusing.
It turns out Microtel is looking at other Linux distros besides Lindows
for their Wal-Mart PCs, which is one of the tidbits their guy shared
with me. Here's an even better one: Microtel's return rate for computers
with Linux preloaded is much lower than their return rate for ones
shipped with Windows. This is especially interesting in light of all the
"Wal-Mart shoppers will never be able to figure out Linux" comments that
have been floated here and there.
