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.

You could use 2 different distros on the 2 boxes since you are having such trouble w/ the hardware setup. As long as they are both Debian based, it should make it easier for you. Install Lindows on #2 and config it the way you want. THen update w/ the debian archives and bam, you have a Debian. Just use the installer and initial hardware detection that works for you. If you really know what you are doing w/ Debian, why are you torturing yourself?
