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.

"This guy was intolerably biased and even silly with some of the things he said. Most real reviewers give Lindows "great reviews". He graded the OS based on his very personal opinion and not facts. He even said that he didn't try to get the webcam to work and still gives it a -1 for that. "
If I have written anything factually incorrect, please tell me and I will gladly post a retraction and an abject apology. The other great reviews I have seen describe installing the OS. I had not seen any review that told me what I really needed to know, so I wrote one myself. If it is not to your taste, please feel free to ignore it completely.
I did try to get the webcam to work. It didn't. At that point I refrained from hunting_through_the_internet_to_find_a_solution. I plugged it up. That was all the CEO of Lindows said was necessary. I looked through the multimiedia software, and checked the listing on CnR, although I did not download anything. I also checked the Lindows help system. Nada.
And yes, I am biased. I am evaluating distros for my own use. I said that up front.
