The Mandrake offerings are more prominently displayed than the Lindows
ones. Walmart lists Mandrake computers on the main computer page, while
Lindows computers are only on the interior pages. And on the left-column
navigation bar on the Microtel PCs page, "PCs with Mandrake Linux" is
listed before "PCs with Lindows OS". Also, the Mandrake computers cost
slightly more than comparable Lindows machines.  Compare, e.g.,
SYSMAR707 against SYSMAR806. Both have exactly the same hardware
description, but the Mandrake machine costs $30 more.
