Clearly you were never a system builder or enthusiast, just a paid shill for micoshaft doing the asstroturfing rounds. I was both an enthusiast and system builder and the highest priority is getting the systems to boot up with something before installing anything. In the bad old days anything was something. But now you got DSL LiveCD, Knoppix LiveCD, SystemRescue LiveCD, GParted and many others that are just superb at booting a PC. Many motherboards also boot Linux off USB sticks if the features were available in the BIOS. http://www.livecdlist.com http://www.distrowatch.com > If they did have any interest then they would have > downloaded the version of Linux they wanted to run. Strawman argument applied by one huge asstroturfer WINDUMMY without knowledge of the real world. > If manufacturers do decide to bundle a linux CD with motherboards I wish > to purchase I'll be asking you to reimburse me for the extra cost. 10p is in the post. > Now fuckoff back to COLA. May be you should enroll in a Motherboard course at your local training center before opening your asstroturfing mouth. After all, they can either believe in a spliffing asstroturfer shilling for Micoshaft Crocporation like you, or believe in the benefits of a free LiveCD.
