Lightbulb I need help with a specific...


distro. I love Mandriva, but I like to check out all of what Linux has to offer. I recently came across Linux XP and found it is a cross for Noobs between Windows and Linux. The only problem is you need a Registration Key. Now loving Linux and how everything is free, I was wondering if anyone could help me obtain a free Registration Key for Linux XP? I would be much obliged. I only want Linux XP for educational purposes to learn the differences between distros. Thanks in advance!

First, I am not aware that Linux XP is on anyone's top-ten list.

Second, any distro can be tweaked to look like Windows--there is no such thing as a unique hybrid of Linux and Windows.

Third, if they charge money for Linux XP, then you can't come here looking for a free way around it.

Bottom line: Why bother with XP?--stick with the ones in the top ten at Distrowatch.
