Priceless! ...well, actually, $100...

thomasmallen• 18 years ago

$100 is a reasonable price to install Debian. But selling it later may prove tricky.

Bjoern• 18 years ago

Actually not. As far as I know you can sell e.g. burned CDs. That should be legaly ok. (As far as the Software is GPL licensed)

How can anyone say we're in a recession with job offers like this?

The best part is the ad for a book called "Successful Outsourcing" that I see on the page.

Wasn't the one submitted to HN requiring a mere $100? Imagine that!? :) How nice of them to lower the prices they were going to pay the developer...

holy smokes!!! $20-$100 for a new OS, with clear edges? does he mean shell themes?

SingAlong• 18 years ago

His way of finding a business oppurtunity seems to be simple: Just find what everyone's using and build (or get built) another one like that to try and make a quick buck. These guys often dream of becoming billionaires with this idea. I confess that I too had such ideas when I was 14 (4 yrs ago).

He never seems to think why people need another OS or as he says an 'Operasting System'.
