Wal-Mart shipping PCs with Lindows preinstalled

[Marvin GodfatherofSoul Bellamy]

It depends on how mature Lindows is.  From what I've heard, it has a 
long way to go.  But, if they're able to get the basic 
E-mail/Internet/Word Processing platform running, probably 90% of their 
customers won't have a problem.

My concerns are related more to the owner of Lindows (don't know his 
name).  To me, he reeks of greedy Dot-Com CEO looking to make a quick 
buck, then sell and get the hell out.  I hope my hunch about him is wrong...
