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.

If you are selling a distro that is supposed to leverage the internet, then suporting 99.99% of the network cards out there is of first importance. But I had/have this problem with Windows 2000 too. Does not support my network card and I had destroyed my drivers.
I actually had no drivers for anything and I had reasoned that if I had the internet, the rest I could get pretty trivially.
Damn, why can't these companies make ethernet cards that will work without special drivers. These things should be commodities. Maybe any special functions should require drivers, but the basic thing, connecting to the network should not be a big deal. I can't imagine buying a video card, and not being able to see anything until I put drivers, should be the same with network cards.
My 2 cents though. But I know how the reviewer felt.
