loco:
thanks in advance..

voidmain:
If you mean free as in price I don't believe you can.

ravuya:
If you mean free as in warez, you're an idiot who doesn't know what piracy does to the software industry. We don't hand out warez here.

voidmain:
Your question is actually a FAQ item on http://www.lindows.com/

Question
Can I get a free copy of LindowsOS?

Answer
We don't currently offer any programs that provide LindowsOS for free.

We do, however, offer  the following ways for getting LindowsOS:

Order a "certified computer" with LindowsOS preinstalled from one of our "builder" partners, such as those currently being offered through Wal-Mart. You'd receive a computer with LindowsOS preinstalled as soon as your order could be placed, processed, and shipped. (Not free, but included at a great price.)

Become a Lindows Insider where, among other benefits, you'll be able to immediately download the current version of LindowsOS, as well as receive the LindowsOS "General Release" when it's ready later this year. (Not free, but comes with a money-back guarantee to ensure your satisfaction.)

Wait for the LindowsOS General Release later this year.

And as such, it puts them with the likes of M$.  Distributing free code from others at a price and I would be willing to bet that they have no plans of sharing the profits with the programmers.  They are within their rights to do that, but I am within my rights not to use it.  And I certainly would not suggest pirating it for a couple of reasons. Pirating is what made M$ a monopoly.  Just because it costs doesn't mean it's better.  From everything I've heard it is the worst Linux distro available.  Get a real distro.

this it for you Ravuya (the only idiot)


I think you are the only idiot here cuz whent a said free I mean beta vers or something like that cuz I heard they can give you a free vers just to test it, so next time you reply someone don't be so rude.... especialy if youn don't know whats goin on out there....
