I don't know about that, but from http://www.lycoris.com/ : Now you can buy pre-installed Desktop/LX Certified PCs from WalMart.com starting at just $199.86! I wonder about the odd OS name. The company name seems to be "Lycoris" and the web site claims that trademark to be owned by Redmond Linux Corp. and neither name is used as part of the OS name, AFAIK. He's speaking about it at Seattle's LUG (gslug.org) next Saturday. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Yes Rick, Wal-Mart uses a modified version of Lindows for their internal operations, but does not offer it for sale to their customers. It was supposed to go public with sales Q4 of 2002, however as of yet no go.
