I don't run Lindows,never did and probably never will but this distrobashing is starting to get annoying.Why don't you guys take it to the general forum so I don't have to look at it?
BTW - the main difference besides political reasons between mdk and Lindows is that Lindows has better package management (apt with super cow powers) and never trashed my hd.

Alright, lets stop posting on this thread.

i agree. This thread is of no value any longer

after some researching.... click here for link

the post I'm referring to is towards the bottom of the page.

i gave a response to a couple of items in that post. They are legitimate concerns. I hope I helped. The concern over the License I'll have to look into further. For now its off to the Office.

wow... that is the first post that hasn't targeted me directly, ignored my concerns, or resorted to name calling. Impressive indeed.

Hey guys..you know..anything that gets one desktop away from the M$ monster is worthwhile...whether it's Sun JDS or Lindows doesn't matter...as long as it's not M$...besides..if one starts using one of these distros..who's to say that one day...once the user realizes the advantages of running a linux distro...the user might get more interested and move to something a little more technical...

just my 2 cents...would like 2 c everyone running their desktops off of a linux engine.....M$ sucks...don't u agree?

As a Lindows user there are a few general observations that I have made while visiting here and other forums they are as follows:

1) The general hatred that is found towards LOS is pretty disheartening. I'm saddened by the fact that when I come here a number of times I have nothing but negativity towards those of us who choose to spend our money the way that we do. I know nothing about how to compile or how use apt-get. Frankly its one of the reasons that I avoided Linux for so long. I prefer to be able to fire up my computer and use it instead of spending so much time running around find all of the dependencies that I need because I wasn’t to try some new program out only to find that it broke my computer, or isn't what I wanted. I choose to pay for a service. I like CNR. I like Lindows.

2) I choose to support LOS because of what they are doing for the open source movement. Nvu, as well as the number of other projects that they choose to fund both through money and manpower is quiet noble. How many of you have the millions of dollars to spend to get a nice open source WYSIWYG html editor out to the public, or to fight M$ in the courts. Thanks to Nvu and all of the publicity that it has received Macromedia is preparing to work more closely with Linux.

I used t think about looking into other distro, but after coming here and reading how the users of other distro Flame LOS, I have decided that I will just stick with LOS. It works for me and I am proud to say that I use LindowsOS.

So, if people disagree with something then they should keep it to themselves? I wonder how stagnant this world would become if that were the case.

Sadly, that is a common attitude on these forums. You'll have to get used to it or shut up, as some moderator told me indirectly.

This is just boring,pointless and redundant.There are about as many threads about how bad lindows sucks as there are about how bad M$ sucks.Seems like everybody has to open his/her own about it.Nobody will change his attitude towards lindows because of it and everybody that knows Linux knows the issues.Haven't seen anybody complain about them sponsoring websites that would be down otherwise either.Basically it's another one of those holier than you issues that run rampant in the Linux 'community' (just another cliche - there are fractions that hate each other fanatically in Linux).
If those threads are in general like the M$ threads at least people that are really bored with it can save some energy to try others with real issues plus I don't see why postcounts (like I care) should be bumped up with stuff like this.

No, but what's the point of rambling about how bad something that you don't even use, is?

Ie, I do think Mercedes cars are better than Renault. Still I don't tell Renault people how bad their cars are, instead I might promote my own Mercedes when appropriate.
If I see something lacking in Renault I might tell someone who can make change about it.

Man, you people will beat a dead horse forever! Lindows is great for the people that aren't you and me. If you even joined in this discussion you are probably more advanced than the average joe contemplating Lindows is prepared to be. Most of my friends (non techs) think that Lindows is amazing, and they think I'm a freak for spending hours (days!) on end tinkering with Slackware. I'm here at night posting and they're all together watching Survivor, drinking beer and wondering why I'm such a spaz...

LOL!

What you can tell with a few words!
