Lindows
1mck:
I want to address some issues with Lindows, and I feel that an earlier post of mine in response to a question about Lindows may have been sort of buried there. X-11 stated that I brought up some very interesting points, so if any of you have any comments, then please do:)
Lindows is a great distro for most people who do not know very much about computers
Kintaro:
I can agree with what your saying, keep in mind geeks will be geeks.

Comment that Lindows violates the GPL by not allowing access to the source code is retracted. It does, so it's fine by me

IMO: SuSE 9 (or 8.2) is much better for beginners (and not only for beginners).
Most people want to start with a dual boot.
Don't ever try that with Lindows! It woudn't work.
Lindows has the worst installation program ever.
PS: Not all the software is free, you have to pay for extra (free) software.

No it doesn't. What makes you say it does? The fact that they don't make the system available free of charge? The GPL doesn't demand that. All of the proprietary code in Lindows is their own.
