Lindows hits virtual shelves - Lisa M. Bowman, Staff Writer, CNET News.com
Lindows on Monday unveiled the latest version of its low-cost operating system aimed at bringing Linux to the masses. The release of LindowsOS 3.O marks the first time the company is selling its software as an independent product. Until now, Lindows came bundled with low-cost PCs, including some sold through Wal-Mart. The company said the LindowsOS 3.0 package will sell for about $129 and support dozens of Linux applications, including ones that mirror Windows applications. The software package, which is available online including at Walmart.com, also features Sun Microsystems' StarOffice 6.0 word processing software and supports more than 800 printers.
