rolanaj Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Wow that definitely puts a laptop in more peoples price ranges. Might also push Linux into the mainstream a bit faster, nothing talks like money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greengeek Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 With Lindows as the OS would programmes from other distros work on it or would you have to pay Lindows for access to their click n run site? It's certainly cheap for a laptop even when converted to Australian dollars but I'd rather have SuSE on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolanaj Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Might be able to reformat and reinstall, or get a bigger hard drive and dualboot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlinecomputers Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Lindows is a Debian based distro so most things that run on Debian should run on it. You shouldn't have to click N run. OTOH I'd bet that a subscription to click and run is in the package so you could connect up and suck down as much as you can during your "free" time. Or buy it anyway and load SuSE on it. I'd perfer 'drake myself but SuSE is good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
