Submission + - Wal-Mart's $200 Linux PC Sells Out (ecogeek.org)

hankmt writes: "About a week ago Wal-Mart began selling a $200 linux machine running on a 1.5 ghz Via C7 processor and 512 megs of RAM. While the specs are useless for vista, it works blazingly fast on Ubuntu with the Enlightenment Window Manager. The machine is now officially sold out of their online warehouses, and the product sales page at WalMart.com is full of glowing reviews from new and old linux users alike."

w00t! It's nice to see some good publicity for openoffice. Yet another step in taking over the world with open-source software... ;-)

<offtopic>/me is really starting to enjoy having a (Gentoo) Linux powered computer that has $0 worth but 2.7GB (du -h /usr/portage/distfiles) of software. It's nice having source to everything, so I can, for example, add keyboard shortcuts to Eye of GNOME for things it odesn't have them for. It's also nice to have all the API's and utilities on my system documented in one place (/usr/doc) so I can write software without being tied to the Internet to search for information.</offtopic>

There are a number of available tools for soruce code analsyis. CruiseControl .NET includes support for a number of these directly and the documentation is a good source for finding what is available. Here are a couple that can be used:
  • Simian is not open source but does have a non-commercial license.
  • Vil is also not open source but is available freely.
There are also other tools out there, but these are a reasonable start.

Why is this story such a big deal??
How many of you wolf-crying 'tards have ever paid a dime for your MP3 encoders? Fraunhofer has been charging a license fee for them since the very beginning, but I don't ever remember having inserted a quarter into the coin slot on my PC when I ran LAME.
Do you honestly think you're gonna start having to pay for your copy of XMMS? Of mpg123? Do you think the copies you have now are gonna quit working in a few days?
Stop acting like such irrational little 12-year-olds...

(It is flamebait for sure and I think it is Troll because it didn't take very long for Google to find out he was just being stupid.)

You might be right about FortKnox. I have not decided yet.

I took /dev/trash off the list.
