clicking on first post in Linux section brings up Invalid Thread, front page of board.

Oh OK... now you explained it. It was not clear at all in the first post. Please be clear about the problem, when you post it.

The thread in question was on moderation, that's why it returned Invalid thread, when you tried to access it. I have approved the thread now... the problem should be solved.

cool...move the post to the thread if you want.

visited their mothership site and they just want too much money for what they are offering for a high price.

BTW...

how's your singing going after American Idol.

What? I received a PM from MC saying that "although it contains free software the link you posted is still a commercial one so we've had to remove it". So it wasn't removed and had been approved? (hey, that rhymes)

Anyways, glad I didn't cause too much problem.

Oops... sorry I noticed it now that the link is commercial. The thread had to be deleted. I had approved the thread earlier, and then after that my computer went down. Just got it up. Sorry, the thread had to be removed as it was not about freeware. MC did the right thing. That was an oops from my side.

Haha....
I got to see it before it was deleted!

Interesting but I think they may struggle to sell at that price IMHO

You're not the only one who didn't notice. Now that I think about it, I get the feeling that it be better to move it to the chit-chat section instead of deleting it, someone might find it useful somehow. What's more, I checked that site again and found out that open-pc will not be available until the end of February so it's not exactly a commercial site at the moment since it doesn't sell anything yet (unless I missed something).

Yeah, I think it's pretty expensive considering that there's no proprietary software and that everything is free (excluding the hardware of course)
