linux getting a bigger slice of the pie?

doublefresh:
I just saw this article in Time magazine.

Walmart is offering a 800MHZ complete system with a distro of Linux on it for $200

Walmart is a huge chain and at this price it could get a large number of users who would not try Linux otherwise to take a peek.

More exposure means more programs for Linux and a smaller share of the pie for MS.

Doctor V:
Yes, I think Linux on desktops will continue to rise.  Which distro is on them?  I would however love to see Linuxes preinstalled on laptops, and that is without paying for windows on top of everything.

this has been posted before.
They run mandrake.. i dont recall seeing laptops.

voidmain:
They also used to offer <cough> Lindows. Don't know if they still are.

pkd_lives:
They still offer Lindows, which is a shame.

But they also ofer Mandrake AND Lycoris now, and they  also sell no OS systems.
