WalMart puts more Linux PCs on shelves (ZDNet)
A Wal-Mart representative declined to provide sales figures for the Lindows PCs, citing company policy, but said sales have been above expectations. "We're very pleased with the response so far," the representative said."
Meanwhile, the Arizona Daily Star gives a fairly
negative review of the Wall Mart/Lindows machine.
"The resulting mess will make no one happy. Experienced Linux users, a savvy bunch, won't need the hand-holding provided by what the company calls LindowsOS. Ordinary non-technical consumers are likely to fall into one of the many holes in the LindowsOS structure, canceling out any benefit from the slightly lower cost of buying a personal computer without Microsoft's current Windows XP Home Edition.
