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.

I downloaded the Developer Edition. Install was nice, looks nice. First thing I did was go to /etc/apt/sources.list and uncommented the two lines in it. Did an apt-get update then an apt-get dist-upgrade. 415 packages updated, 71 newly installed and 39 removed. Got everything I needed from CNR without having to pay the fee. I see CNR useful for beginners and the power of Debian useful for the more advanced.
