Debian Gets Win32 Installer 232
An anonymous reader writes "Debian hacker Robert Millan has just announced the availability of a Debian-Installer Loader for win32. The program, inspired by Ubuntu's similar project, features 64-bit CPU auto-detection, download of linux/initrd netboot images, and chainloading into Debian-Installer via grub4dos. The frontend site goodbye-microsoft.com/ has been set up for advocacy purposes. Here are some screenshots."

I told a neighbour recently that I did not use Windows. The reply was "What do use instead? Excel?"
Most people do not know what a PC is, or that it is a switchable component.

That's the problem with Windows. Until they get that stuff sorted, it will never be ready for the desktop.
