The Linux community has been buzzing about LindowsOS since its original announcement over a year ago. With Michael Robertson, founder of mp3.com, at the helm, it was heralded as a Linux that could seamlessly run all of your Windows applications. As details became available, the skepticism of the community grew and with the LindowsOS general release only months away, no one is quite sure what to make of Lindows.com and their product, LindowsOS. We tested Lindows 2.0 and we today present the most in-depth review ever written for this much-talked OS, accompanied by a number of shots.

If you want to be r00ted, why not use Windows?
Security isn't just a private matter. IMHO, people are obligated to have a secure system. Why? Because r00t3d systems are more-often-than-not used in DDoS attacks against other systems. Often a cracker will commandeer hundreds or even thousands of systems and direct them all to attack one target. The vast majority of these systems are home Windows boxes, since they are so easy to 0wn. If all home systems shipped as "secure by default", then it would be immensely more difficult for k!dDi3z to 0wN machines and attack other systems.
The Internet is like an ecosystem. Everything can be affected by anything (for the most part), so we all need to work together to keep it running smoothly. A more community-minded approach is required.
