"The Mac OS is developed from UNIX." And that was pwntastic.

You know its a good day when that's how the first thread you read on Engadget starts. ]]>Dec 11th 2008 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/
like eddie said, why pay extra for something you will get rid of.....this is why they load linux on these machines, cheap and easy while looking reasonable]]>Dec 11th 2008 5:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/
regardless of OS, thats how IT departments deploy software. The computer is booted from an external source, cd, network, flash drive, etc... and then an image of the OS and software is written to the drive. This allow IT depts to setup one machine, then clone it to as many computers as they need to. Businesses never unbox a machine turn it on and let the user loose. Medium to large IT depts dont do one off setups either. Imaging or package base software installs are the quickest ways to deploy software.]]>Dec 11th 2008 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/
I liked how the 2133 was offered with Linux, and I was mildly disapointed to hear that the Mini-Note 1000 has yet to be released with Linux. Im interested in the Mini1000, but I really, really dont want to pay for another XP license. Ive got enough of those sitting around. ]]>Dec 11th 2008 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/
Like I said... I'm all for no/custom OSes, but places like this sell hardware and if they don't run simple tests on it to make sure it works, that reflects on the company.]]>Dec 11th 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 12th 2008 3:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 11th 2008 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 12th 2008 12:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/11/hp-begins-offering-linux-on-enterprise-desktops/Dec 12th 2008 9:52AM
