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.

As a Linux newbie, I really enjoy these reviews. Obviously, one can't do a really scientific comparison of distros without installing them on dozens of machines and configurations, but just knowing what the out-of-the-box experience is like helps people like me.
If I had suggestions for the author, it would be to expand the reviews, testing the ease of installing new (downloaded) applications, networking with Windows machines, and running programs under Wine. I'd also like to see him try out non-Debian distros, though I understand his reasons for not doing this.
