i worked for Compaq for 5 years, and i can assure they DID try to sell Linux (and BeOS) computers. The problem was that nobody wanted to buy them. Old colleagues of mine who are still at HP (HP bought Compaq in 2000, right after i left the company) have told me of several attempts to sell Linux-based PCs. The main problem, as always, has been people's reluctance to buy them. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.
