Linspire 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.

RE: I just don't get Lindows

I've used SuSE, Mandrake, Lycoris, Libranet, and Lindows among others. What I was looking for was a easy to use Linux Distro. I am not a Linux Guru. Installing software was my biggest issue. As someone who used Microsoft Products up to a year ago, I was looking for a distro that provided ease of use. Out of all of them, Lindows is the only one that makes it truly easy to install software with their CNR. Right now, I am using my Mandrake 9.2 machine. The other two computer's run Lindows. I guess I am the target market for them. Bad reputation? I think not.
