Lindows sucks!!!

Master of Reality:
I'll stick with Redhat, FreeBSD, Slackware.... even though i cant get to FreeBSD or Slackware due to being too lazy to update my GRUB.conf

You forgot to mention that Lindows costs $99 (USA). Damn near as much as a copy of Windoze  :eek:  . Also, there's that Software Warehouse thingy that keeps you resubscribing annually if you want access to apps.  :(   Now who does that remind me of...  ;)   Instead of calling it "Lindows", perhaps they should've called it M$ Linux  :D

yer probably right. owell, it can't be as bad as the hypothetical MS/UX. now that one should scare ya shitless

Calum:
the main problem with lindows is as follows:

if i had a buck for each time i've seen some moron saying "i don't know anything except windows but i want to use linux, i think i'll just go and buy lindows! (duh)"....

This lindows thing will have its knock on effect, it will spawn a generation of morons all parroting "yeah, i tried linux, it sucks" just like all the xbox generation will be little M$ converts because they signed up for their lobotomies before they even got their first pube.

Lindows sure is the next M$, maybe they get a cut?

Hi All!

I was kind of sorry to see all the negative posts about Lindows.  I am plannng on setting up a Lindows box in the next few weeks.

I do have Unix and Linux experience, but need to run a lot of Windows apps, especially MSOffice.  Not by choice, but for my job.  

Has anybody had a good experience with it or will I just be wasting time and money on this project.  I want an OS that gives me a *nix command line option that is stable.  I'm not all that worried about paying for it, and would give their $99/year software download a shot for at least the first year.

I did see that this has been discussed before, but am fairly new to these forums and never read any of those threads.  Sorry if I'm asking for a rehashing of a previously discussed thread, but am really interested in your feedback.
