Wal-Mart Offers Linux as Windows Alternative (2003)
Anyone else here remember LindowsOS (later changed its name to Linspire)?<p>In the early 2000&#x27;s (around the time of the article), they were trying to get point and click simplicity for installing software (which even back then was abundant in Linux). I remember a few others distros, like Mandriva (Mandrake at the time) had graphical package managers. There were others.<p>To anyone who&#x27;s curious and feels like giving old Linux distros a try, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old-linux.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old-linux.com&#x2F;</a> is a good resource. Unfortunately I can&#x27;t find any mirrors of repos with packages that go back to 1998 and early 2000&#x27;s.
