I find this encouraging, at least. Walmart.com is, but if you go into any Wal-Mart in the world hoping to buy a PC with Linux preinstalled (or even with no OS at all) you'll come out empty-handed. Also, if the Microtel PC's are anything like the laptop we bought through Linspire a couple years ago, they just did a default install and didn't even bother trying to get all the hardware working (the Linspire branded laptop has a Winmodem and flash card reader in it that have never worked.) But it is good that the biggest retailer in the world knows about Linux and sells it somewhere, even if it's only online (and even if they're bastards of the highest order otherwise.) Rob
