Geek Squad Finally Replaces My Linux-Infested Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| An anonymous Best Buy customer told us in
| December that the Geek Squad refused to honor
| his extended warranty on his laptop because he
| had installed (horrors!) Linux.

Linux on the repaired Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| I have been busy installing an operating
| system to the repaired Laptop.
|
| Firstly I went with Ubuntu as I already had
| that installed to an external harddrive and
| could just boot it up but it needed about 2
| days of upgrades added to it.
| The 2 days were for the amount of downloads
| needed.
| I upgraded and left it overnight only to find
| my installation was scuppered next morning.
|

|
| I think you need to be prepared to look
| through forum posts to get the most from Linux
| as it is a learning curve but once you have
| your internet set up looking how you want, a
| few handy programmes, one or two small games
| and have personalised your desktop, it is very
| satisfying and ofcourse, free.

Open Source Alternatives To Geek Squad
,----[ Quote ]
| Now some people, like myself, prefer a real PC. Some of these same users may
| even be interested in seeing if Linux is a match for them. Because as far as
| I am concerned, there is no reason why someone should ever have to call for a
| software/malware related incident. And with a pre-installed Linux box,
| properly locked down, there doesn't have to be.
