It seems to me that a lot of attention lately in the commercial Linux development area has concentrated on either large enterprise customers, or wooing the home user who can barely turn a computer on. Even distros claiming to offer the perfect solution for both ends of the spectrum don't quite seem to fit what I am looking for.

Lindows (non root) is execllent for the people it was made for. Which is non geek home users with broadband.
I've got several computers that I work and play with. One of those has Lindows 4.0 on it. Setting it up was easy with no problems. And day to day use has been excellent for e-mailing, chatting, playing games (Multi-player NWN anyone or Quake III Arena anyone?), and typing up/reading documents OpenOffice. It also found my Epson printer without problems. And since I paid the $49 to register it, I've been able to go to CNR, find programs that my wife wanted/needed (remember - non geek stuff) and had her click on them to download and install. She was really impressed.
Creating a NON ROOT account is very easy. So all the lame people that keep whining about it. Get a life. If you can't figure it out. Then you shouldn't be using a computer. Find an Etch-a-sketch.
As for the review this whole thing is about. The first part about the video card is a hardware problem if BIOS didn't really hide the built in video card. And for his rating system. I give it a -3 based on his rating system.
