Lindows...

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

After talking to our guru, Lindows just happens to be a paying version of 
a reduced debian distro.
The author may have been involved in a scam web site earlier too... Sounds 
like another Bill Gates
wannabe to me...

Well marketed though. For those interested there is more on www.cnet.com. 
In brief, they 
say you have little control over the installation. But it's easy to 
install. Has KDE is in but no Gnome.

Getting non click'n'run apps may be a problem zone. And the Click'n'run 
will make the OS much
more expensive in the long run. There's no office suite which is avlb in 
other distros and if you dont 
have an ADSL, it gets costlier. 

Most innapropriate is the fact that you have to pay for any other program. 
Which is good
for us revolution developpers but as a user, is not a good feature. Very 
limiting.

Compatibility with other rpms may also be another wall...

To be seen...

My 2 cents
