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.

*sigh*
I was hoping to avoid having to admit this, but my primary system is a Dell. The agreement with my former employer was that I would be cleared to telecommute as long as I purchased hardware that was directly equivalent to what they were using in the home office. So I had to get a Dell. I don't remember the exact model because after finishing up my part of that project I immediately switched the board into a tower case large enough to work with and started upgrading everything I could.
And yes, it uses system RAM. The onboard i810 video defaults to FOUR meg of RAM. System RAM. Hence my chagrin at finding a distro that wanted me to abandon my Radeon and go back to that.
There is no jumper on the motherboard to allow me to physically disable the video. I checked and researched. I am stuck. And since I had to pay Dell's ungodly prices for this system, I am ont about to toss it out until it grows a long white beard.
Now ByteEnable, is that loyalty? For the sake of a supporting reader I have admitted my darkest secret. I own a Dell.....
*sob*
