Why? Companies producing distributions based on Debian are not always partners of Debian, and especially in this case, Lindows isn't a partner of the Debian project. Please start with reading the first sentence in the first paragraph on the page to find out why Lindows isn't listed there. Lindows sponsors sometimes the appearance on some events, but from what I know they haven't put special efforts into providing ongoing assistance to the Debian project. Especially they haven't sponsored any hardware or bandwidth afaik. children-distros not always give back to the project, it's rather rare than usual from what I've noticed. Personally I don't see any need to link them from the partners page. > The basic idea is: > As I have payed for a Debian based distro (Lindows) and I find it > good, I want to check wether the money i paid are shared amongst > contributors. I don't think that Lindows "shares" their money with the Debian project. Sorry. But they don't have to. If they would have to Debian wouldn't be free.
