Story: Lenovo deal could open doors for JDS

Posted by: Richard Green (Saturday 11 December 2004, 5:08 AM)

To geeks I recommend SUSE or Fedora. But for non-geeks, I've found that Sun JDS linux currently selling at $50 per desktop, per year, it's a great deal.

I only wish Windows emulation (wine) was included as part of the base JDS package. I have found the required packages to run wine on jdshelp.org, however.

It will remain to be seen, anyway, what will be the price/performance ratio of lenovo PCs. For notebook, I've long said goodbye to IBM's pricier thinkpads and have choosen either Acer P4 notebooks or AMD Athlon based eMachines (now owned by Gateway).

Why do so many (virtually all) software packages think that they are so important that they have to be started automatically every time the computer boots? What is the largest number of "speed access", "update check", "camera download" and whatever other background programs you have ever seen running? Of those, how many did you really need?
