For 100 extra, they throw in Silver club membership. nice.

 

I can't believe how quickly (if you think about it) Mandrake have managed to pull themselves out of shitsville - very impressive.

 

I'm looking at Nexedi as well - looks rad.

Products like these are going to make the difference for desktop linux.

Carrefour!? Holy sh*t!

 

That's only about the biggest warehouse chain in Belgium! For 300 (what: euro? dollars?) I might just as well buy one... omg these machines will fly out of the door :) oh wait, that's only online purchase, I guess... ?

 

Good thing they clearly point out the difference with Windoze as well... after reading the text in French, I have to commend them for a great job done (at least it seems to me the explanatory text comes straight from MandrakeSoft).

When I received the mail with the announcement, I immediately forwarded to all my friends and family. You can never know that someone wants to buy a new (perhaps second) PC.

300 €! Prices can get low without Windows tax!

 

Great for people wanting to install a server at home as well.

 

Ciao,

Like you said :)

Carrefour is just the #2 in the world behind Wall Mart but #1 outside US. Quite promising. But Carrefour is not well known for there online sale. In fact I didn't know they did online sale. Let's see how they advertize the product, but my guess is that for the moment they are just testing something here before perhaps doing it big in the future. What are they testing ? well I don't know. See how busy the hot line is going to be ? :juggle:

Just don't distract yourself with some non-Linux business like E-learning or other dotCOM (ad)ventures.

 

do I detect a certain amount of sarcasm there? :o

 

Look at some of the earlier annual report of MandrakeSoft since 1999/2000 (the year it started losing money), and you will find out what I mean.

I'm well aware of the online learning debacle the old management was responsible for ;)
