Here are reviews of Wally World's new $199 PC that runs Linux... The reviews are all pretty positive, but the comments reveal what a strange new world this OS is to them...
| Quote: | | I really expected Windows, and was prepared for an afternoon of removing unneeded programs as well as explaining little oddities and many many concepts. Instead I was surprised/shocked when it booted to Linux instead. My initial thought was someone had bought the machine, put Linux on it and returned it. |
| Quote: | | This is a Linux machine that's capable of XP or Vista. |
| Quote: | | Software upgrades on this machine are FREE FOREVER. Try that on a windows box. |

Nor the ability to use Linux.  |
