So far this series has checked out Lindows 4.0, Libranet 2.8.1 and MEPIS 2003.10. Meanwhile both Lindows.com and Xandros have been busy little beavers and spat out new versions of their software, each on the same day. Since I am trying to find the best bang for my buck in a Debian based commercial distro, and since I am already a registered user of LindowsOS, I felt compelled to download a free copy of Lindows 4.5 to have a second look at this thing.

1) rating system was horrible. finally using a password for root is called breaking even or "catching up"
2) Grant it he just wants it to work, but thats always going to depend on your hardware. someone probably will suffer hell using lindows with some sort of hardware. not to mention lindows is only x86. come on how many archs are supported by debian?
3) distributions are not the same. lets see... devil linux = firewall cd distro, mandrake = cd/network distro for small home office users, Red Hat Enterprise = for buisnesses, enterprise edition stuff, though you could compile and isntall the same software on just about any distro, as ive pointed out each distro has its specialty. Not to mention the fact hes looked at lycoris, xandros and lindows which all are only for non-computer savvy people in homes/offices, so of course he is going to get the same feel!! and besides different GUI's may be included but they are stressed differently. For instance Red Hat stressed Gnome over KDE, hence Gnome was better in RH then KDE and vice versa for suse which strssed KDE more (though with novell taken over it, I have no idea how that will swing)
