Good review of Lindows withdrawn!!!! Please read.
Mistshadow:
I tried that when it was installed. Lots of normal debs don't work on Lindows, and I presume vice versa.
They may not be monopolists, but they're definitly trying to keep a stranglehold on their customers. If you think things are bad now, just imagine if Lindows.com overtook M$.

So don't use proprietary software. Then you avoid this kind of thing.
Commander:
a little off topic. but wondering, what's the apt-get version of suse? i know it;s called something else but cant quite remember what it was.

Exactly what I'm gonna be doing. The closest thing to prop software I'm going to be using is SuSE Pro (which I finally heard about, it's ben delayed in shipping because of a terrorist alert).
mushrooomprince:
he has a huge point. you normally don't get this sort of stuff in open source software. On the otherside, with open source there are lots of things that you don't get either.
If you want to keep going with Linux I would recomend suse 9. Go to bestbuy and pick a copy up I think its about $40 for the home user version.
