So, I checked and it has 2 hrs max. so, that was a deal breaker for me. I have had a little experience with lindows 3.0 desktop. It was based on stable I think. And you could do some selective apt-geting. But from my very limited stable->unstable attempt, it didnt work. Also, it had only root logon. and it disabled virtual terminals, so you could not fix things if they went very wrong. But the newer version may be better. BTW to you have a link so that I can check outt he 'lindows upgrade' article. HTH -Kev
