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.

Geforce FX 5600

Someone mentioned that lindows automatically installed their fx5600.

The problem is the performace.

In lindows I get about ~1600 in glxgears from my fx5600, but in suse 9.0, its about ~3150!
