[CoLoCo] Walmart Selling Ubuntu PC's

[David L. Willson]

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear.  I will kick in a share, if there are at
least four people kicking in shares for ~one~ of these.  It's worth $50
to me to screw around with and partially own, a commodity Linux-based
home PC.  (BTW, why do some people think PC means Windows?  PC is short
for personal computer.  At worst, it ~might~ indicate a very, very old
Intel-based machine by IBM, but never should it specify Windows...)  If
the current team lead doesn't ~want~ this fine piece of gear, I'm sure
someone else will, but I think we should specify that it has to keep gOS
as long as gOS is usable.  Heck, I'd put it in my folks' house, if
nobody else would, just to gauge the average user's response to a
Linux-based home PC.
