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.

Decent article on Lindows. I do agree completely about the general comments such as the typical Linux documentation being written by programmers and nit wits... I have installed Knoppix HDD install, Red Hat 4-8.1, Mandrake 8-9.2, etc... and to this day get verrry annoyed by the sub-standard documentation. Okay, they suck in writing - period. Yes there are ALOT of docs, but thats not what construe as good writing - its conciseness. Write it for "normal" users! Others in Linux land say if you can't do commands in shell then go f%%% off, well you guys are such F$#% dweebs that in order for you to feel superior you must say dumb ass things like that - my main machine is PROPRIETARY Windows - but my SH^& WORKS! I do not know about other dumbb A$$ Windows users who crash their crap, but I have not crash mine! I would love a Linux ditro to come up to the ranks, but until its comaprable to the tools Windows has - no thanks! I just saw an article of all the cool toold on Linux (ARP, SNMP, etc) - and laughed my a$$ off - are you kidding!!!! These are command line based archaic A$$ commands - try Windows and you will see the "better" tools - unless something like those come along for Linux - then again - no FUC$%$ thanks! Maybe a couple more years Linux!
