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.

I have a fairly exotic and nearly useless Voodoo 4 (pci)card. Almost every distro refused to allow it to run, and I tried like 5 of them.
Then I found knoppix (based on debian). Then I found the hard drive install script, and then I found a walkthrough (on osnews) how to use the script. When your trying a new os, you need keyboard, video card, ethernet, mouse and sound to work. Sound may be optional. I think more than anything its video card drivers that are causing some minor problems with linux adoption.
