So a Man Walks Into a Bar and Asks for an Ubuntu on the Rocks
She was checking out laptop bags, and my attention went to the Acer display just outside the bag store. To my shock, there was a low-end laptop (about USD400) with a localized version of Ubuntu on the computer. There was a special Acer desktop background, and the menus were in Thai. The next computer had the same system. Hmmm. The specs described the computer as having Linpus Linux installed (pictured above), but the system was definitely Ubuntu. There were about twelve models on display, but some of them weren't on.
"Do all these computers have the same operating system?" I asked.
"These two have Windows 7," the clerk answered.
