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.

Not its not a temper tantrum, its a prime example of how serious professionals take Lindows. We do not believe in forcing users to leave one demon to embrace another. We do not shut anyone out, We will help With Xandros, we will help with Lycoris. Becuase even tho they charge a fee, they still abide by the GPL and other governing licenses, Lindows does not. It was a decision that was not made lightly we had many discussions on it and even had a vote, even the one Lindows user we have agreed that Lindows is not a distro that we want newbies to use right off the bat. We even had two college user groups in the area that followed our example and banned Lindows from their installfests as well. This past installfest alone we had over 48 new faces, 48 new installs, 48 new Linux users who are very happy with the distros with which we provided and who we feel will have a much better user experience.
Thanks for reading
