Star Linux Desktop Distro Shootout Part IV: LindowsOS 4.5
Linked by Barry Smith on Tue 23rd Dec 2003 20:02 UTC
Linspire 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.

Are you already saying you will be unfair?

"You can set your concerns aside, I will try my best to give Xandros 2.0 a fair trial. I have not made up my mind about Lindows on the secondary system. I simply said that Lindows was the only distro that I had tried that never had any problems at all with my secondary hardware. So until I have a chance to try out Xandros I am going to use Lindows on that box. And unless Xandros is better, I will not bother that installation again."

If Xandros will not get a good test on both of your systems that is very biased and just plain wrong. Don't review it at all if you are going to start with that outlook. Also about the PDC issue, Xandros will give fre upgrades to the business editionf or those who need it.
