If I buy a cheap puter from say Wal-mart with the Lindows OS loaded, is it possible to reformat and put a Windows OS on it instead? I'm looking for a cheap solution for my daughter. Thanks.

replace it with a actual Linux OS. Kids do well in that OS. (I remember back to my dos days with having to look up commands in that big blue book, better then He-man, but still not quite as cool as GI Joe) Try a few different things on it... Even try out lindows (shudder).. if she want's windows you can go ahead and buy a OS for her later.

It might be the very best thing to happen to linux. Maybe it will help bring linux more mainstream.
