Linspire Lindows.com offered LindowsOS Developer Edition free for one day, GoogleDay (Whatever that is, I don't know, google's birthday perhaps?) so I decided to test it. My favorite distribution this far has been (and still is) Slackware Linux, which has always, well, just worked. I've been using Linux for some years now, I use Solaris at work (I work as software designer). Trying out Lindows after Slackware was totally different world, and here's some of my toughts after trying out Lindows.

modprobe

yes, i think modprobe at startup is a dirty hack, what i think should be checked at startup is graphics card drivers, and then at bootup, while in the desktop, it should do a final check on other hardware as a daemon in the background. i was wondering what kernel lindows uses?
