Whenever I boot my notebook computer, after installing 10.2, I get those

The screen is programmed to be randomly shown.


While they may have been cute around Christmas,
they're beginning to wear thin. Is there any simple way to get rid of
them?

That was answered on the Factory mailing list. It isn't too hard. It
was also mentioned on this list a couple weeks ago.

I don't subscribe to the Factory mailing list. Why should it be
necessary to subscribe to any mailing list to disable such a thing.


Why on earth is there such a thing on something that should be
used in business?

You use Linux, it is all about choice. You can configure it whichever
you choose. There is no "evil empire" that dictates what your boot
screen looks like. My kids love it.

Your kids may love it, but many people don't. It's not appropriate for
use in a business.



Why not?

What kind of boring business you in anyway? :)


Many businesses like to customize their systems. Some do not care for
such "frivolous" things.

So, how do I get rid of it?


Don't boot from the DVD?


I'm not booting from the DVD. I'm booting from the installed system.
In fact, I didn't even use the DVD for the install. I did a network
install from the ISO file.
