Good review of Lindows withdrawn!!!! Please read.

Oh, I've already paid for it, and it's on the way here. But it was being shipped from Europe in the first place, and then the terrorist alert came out so that's making it take even longer. The email I got said to contact them if it didn't get to me by Feb 4 (next Wednesday).

Ok, there seems to be a misunderstanding here. Lindows did not express themselves clearly.
This answer is given by Lindows President Kevin Carmony to a question on osnews.com:
"I then read that if I canceled after my 15 day trial, software I downloaded would be disabled."
As I mentioned in the post with my interview, that is for COMMERCIAL software only (StarOffice, etc.), because we have to pay a license fee for these. We don't disable any open source products. As I also mentioned, we are changing the language there to make that more clear.

Also, I think that the applications that are downloaded on your system still will work but you are not allowed to download them again from CNR.
Mistshadow:
Well, that's certainly better. But - *how* do they disable it?

Oh, sorry, I missed your post earlier. On SuSE, you can download some software through YAST. In addition, you can use apt4rpm on SuSE. So you actually have plenty of choices nowadays on SuSE and most any distro.
