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.

Lindows.com offered LindowsOS Developer Edition free for one day...
I got in on this so I could check out Lindows. But I never made it through the installation. It stops at 90% with an "Unknown error". Doesn't exactly give you much to go on.
I verified my ISO by checking the md5sum and I verified my CD by loopback mounting the ISO and running "diff" between the mounted ISO and the CD. So I'm pretty confident my copy is good.
