Oh, 'cmon -- tell us...
Wait. You said - no way - you are not going to tell 'none' of us...
Does that mean it is certain that you will tell all of us...?
Yeah - well - okay - maybe not...
Look, mister city slicker grammar expert, I was speaking like us folks from down home, lower Bammern are speaking. You need to take classes to get what's going on???![]()
No, darlin'. I was born and raised in the South. I understand. I was just teasing you...Look, mister city slicker grammar expert, I was speaking like us folks from down home, lower Bammern are speaking. You need to take classes to get what's going on???![]()
The only place I know of where you can get such as that is on the internet; albeit, I have not looked lately at any of those. For several years now I have been building my own computers from individual 'components' bought off of the internet and / or from computer super-stores in Dallas, TX. But, there have been times when I was looking for a "quick solution" ( for me or for someone else ) for obtaining a new computer without Windows on it. So - I believe that you may be able to find a pre-assembled no-OS new computer on the internet; however, it will be a rare case for sure... ( no pun intended )GaryA: where do you go to buy computers that you can buy a new computer, already assembled, but with no operating system? I have never heard of such. Where I live they are always assembled and with a system already installed, ready to go.
you mean us southern people have one of them thar accents?No, darlin'. I was born and raised in the South. I understand. I was just teasing you...

Are you sure,lol!?
I don't think the manufacturer is conspiring with Microsoft to get Windows in every home. I think they're just trying to sell computers. Most people won't buy a computer with no OS. But from what I recall, every computer I have seen even online that has no OS has been cheaper than the ones with Windows.The only place I know of where you can get such as that is on the internet; albeit, I have not looked lately at any of those.

I have not done it yet - but, I definitely intend to one of these days...Ever tried installing a system on a stick? I have been running from a USB flash drive install for years. This laptop I'm on has a low-profile 64GB clip with Linux Mint on it. I don't even care what's on the internal hard drive. I think the Windows that came with the computer is still there, but I wouldn't swear to it. Also I don't have to carry the whole computer around, I just turn it off and take the flash drive out. Plug that chip into another computer and boot from USB and that is now my computer system - just running on different hardware.
All you need is a flash drive and a Linux install medium. Format the flash drive as ext4. At install, direct it to use the flash drive as though it were a hard drive.I have not done it yet - but, I definitely intend to one of these days...
No - that is Microsoft's intent...I don't think the manufacturer is conspiring with Microsoft to get Windows in every home.
I don't think I have ever seen a no-OS machine cheaper than an equivalent Windows-loaded machine. Windows-loaded machines always seem to undercut no-OS machines - at least, every time I have looked for them.But from what I recall, every computer I have seen even online that has no OS has been cheaper than the ones with Windows.
My rant is Ragweed. It's really awful and my Kid's and I are really struggling with it this year. I love fall but the ragweed that comes with it stinks!
