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.

"I haven't read the other reviews, but did other Linux distros exhibit the same kind of problem on his hardware?
That one is a color coded chart. This one is an article. That one uses pictures. This one uses words.
When you're doing a rewview for a distro, I think you need to install it on at least 3 different computers to get any kind of feel on how it does on different types of hardware.
Either that, or install mulitple distros on the same box and compare them. I've had times in the past where one distro would install fine, but another distro would simply lock up on the first install screen."
I am afraid that you didn't read the review did you? I made a sepcial effort to contrast the way Lindows worked perfectly on my secondary system. I also gave a long list of distros that had previsouly run on my primary system with no problem.
RE: ByteEnable
"This is just a clone of..."
No it isn't.
Hope that helps.
