    I’m hoping they will manufacture Linux computers which are affordable in the future. That would be a great idea like they do with Windows PCs.

    Come on guys. I think it’s a great thing for getting more people into Linux.

    In my opinion they already do. System76 is a little expensive, but I was
    able to get a good Zareason laptop 4 or so years ago with linux installed. There are also several single board choices out there, some of which are powered by intel, that all run various flavors of linux. I have a
    raspberry pi and an up board. Both running linux, I am happy with both
    for what I use them for.

    DAMN, I forgot that you are Dan C from FIDONEWS. It was not my intention to start a
    fight with you, we already know how the conversation would look like. But let me
    translate my ironic remark for everyone:

    IMHO, I don't think anyone benefits from snarky remarks on TM's messages. I know some
    people
    are annoyed, but it only adds more noise, especially if it happens repeatedly. If you
    don't like to read his posts, just ignore them or filter them. They are mostly harmless
    and I don't see any bad intentions. He seems to be a nice guy ...

    No, another Dan. Sorry for the ambiguity, so many Dans ... :) Btw, thumbs up for the binkd patch. I didn't had the problem (yet), but it's good to have it squashed.

    Sure thing! I ran into it right away, so needed it to get binkd working
    at all.

    Not so sure about that... people have said such about serial killers. Although I s'pose its true no one knows anyone here, some people just feel off.. and the
    kiddie troll level drivel that comes along is what makes me think that. On the flip side, encouraging him in any way still isn't going to help though.. so
    I'm not sure you're entirely right, and I don't think Gam helps a lot at different times either...

    If you want to see less, just don't engage..Eventually he's going to curl up and blow away in the wind.

    Pinebook makes a single-board computer built into a small laptop, think they're $99 or $149. They run an ARM chip, so software has to be able to compile on it, but they look intriguing.
