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.

If a distro is able to detect the onboard video, despite it being disabled in the BIOS, it means the hardware is broken/faulty. If an intergrated device is disabled in the BIOS, it shouldn't show up on the pci bus (run lspci to get a listing of AGP/PCI devices on your linux system). If it shows up, your motherboard is crappy.
Stop whining about the operating system because you bought crappy hardware.
