I chose to checkout Lindows 3.0 because it had been in the news a lot and it had interested me. I had expected more from it though. I expected more applications and much better configuration tools as it is aimed at the Desktop audience.

Yes, it's true. I've never used Lindows (I'm a Win98/Mandrake man myself), but people need to keep something in mind: Linux is fragmenting into market segments, and that's good. Lindows is for a certain set of users (those with little or no technical proficiency), so comparing it to, say, Slackware is rediculous. That's like saying that a Caddy Catera sucks because the Lambourgini can blow the doors off it.
