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.

This review hit the nail on the head. If all of these distros have access to the same libraries, the same information, the same everything...then why do a few of them fail to detect the most common hardware? And why is this problem always with leading distros targeted at average Joes? This is precisely whats KILLING Linux adoption.
