Yeah.....Beemers are thinking of not rebooting but booting Windows CE in favor of Linux.

It\'s not quite console related, nor is it quite PC related....so it goes HERE! OFF TOPIC!

Speaking of embedded linux:

This is a first.

like i said, in 5 years, m$ will be in the closet unless they change thier practices

The government here is having a lot of problems with Windows products, plus it costs too much (upgrades, repairs ect), so they have threatened to go over to Linux.
Now MS is trying to cut a deal with them, I hope they don’t accept it

I’m a Linux n00b so question:
Is there any Linux version that works similar to Windows. Like you don’t need to use commands and such?

The only difficult part is installation.  Once you got it up and running if you used say, KDE, you\'d be in familiar territority.  Check out http://www.distrowatch.com

commands?  it;s not 1996 ya know

i can sit someone in front of linux thats never seen it before and it would take a few minutes for them to tell me it\'s not windows

(just a random screenshot i found)

all you need

Ok seems good

I\'ve never used Linux. I downloaded it once but never installed it (chickened out).
I think I\'ll format my laptop and use it to learn Linux.

I just need to find that damn network adapter thingy (don’t want to buy another PC-Card Network card)

Oh you want screenshots?
