News Comment This is a comment on news story: Inexpensive computers may give Linux operating system a big lift It's a reply to comment: already been tried Re: already been tried by: CMonster3  agreed Though it is a difficult strategy to carry out since there is no central or unified Linux company to back such a push. I'm also unclear as to just what "deals" may be made since the schools and other companies can already use Linux for free. You would think a school would jump at the chance of free software that can run all their computing needs -- especially since here in the US they are always crying about budget. Such is the brainwashing their apathy shows. As for pre-installed Linux, I would say that these installations should also be pre-configured with video drivers that support opengl, DVD playback, mp3 codecs, and all web plugins. Face it, we have a culture of dumb end users that think they are smart because they can click a mouse. If they cannot readily and easily install a plugin to titillate themselves with all forms of web content they will balk at the platform.
