Install a development kernel, hack your config files and generally do anything that will make your system unstable. Trust me, it can be done! 2. Download the next alpha release. Preferably not a sissy release candidate distro, but raw code hot off the Cooker. It probably still won't crash as much as Win98, but it's more fun.

Wal-Mart was required to sell the system as LindowsOS to get around M$ complaints. It provides a basic Linux distro (don't recall what it is named) which will run a few popular Window$ apps. It wouldn't be a bad way to introduce the general public to Linux, except there is some sort of annual subscription service required to use the system.

9.0 but went out and bought the boxed set. I did so because Mandrake
needs money to survive. You can't expect any company that wants to
survive to provide everything for free, to do so is suicide. People who

Re: [newbie] Lindows - Mandrake Editions
There is nothing wrong with being compensated for ones work. Like you I have downloaded the 9.0 version and I am about to give it another try.

Re: [newbie] Lindows
well I did some research and the bottom line is do you want a distro that lets you run windows apps?? Are you looking for a debian distro? Then these distros are trying more or less succesfully to fulfil a niche. A dummies linux for windows people. Lindow Xandros and all of them cost money. I tried corel and liked the idea but not the implementation. They say this round of distros is much better. But if you have mucked around with a normal distro you are probably one who doesn't need them. ON the other side. If you feel you want to run windows apps on linux there are apps out ther e that let you do this some better and some worse just as xandros and lindows. These are Vmware and Win4lin and crossover office. these pay alternatives will bring you pretty much up to the windowy level that these distro's offer but with a user base that has longer experience. lol Aaron --On Monday, December 23, 2002 05:35:25 AM -0600 Richard Babcock [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greetings, I was just surfing the Wal-Mart site and found them hawking an OS called Lindows.

R Lindows has been around for a while in fact you've probably heard of them before but might not remember. They had a working relationship with codeweavers to help with wine on lindows, until a licensing disagreement concerning the codeweavers work, ended up causing them both to go their seperate ways. A couple years back lindows claim to fame was that they were stating all windows applications would run under lindows. This of course was a grand over statement on their part, but it almost entirely relied on the work code weavers was doing for them. Once the licensing issues started to pop up and code weavers left, they had to dramatically scale back there assertions. Lindows is okay, but the thing I don't like about it, is you run under root all the time. You log in, you're root! It's as much Windows98 as you could possibly get in linux I think, but with one big exception... under windows98 you can't delete active system files while they're in use.. you can under linux. Not good for run of the mill home users. Oiyh! Anyway, Walmart also sells Mandrake and one other OS with their base-bottom prices systems.. forget which one though. If you're lookign for a starter linux disto, I'd recommend Lycoris instead. Anthony Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Babcock, Owner Tower Training At Tower Training, We Bring the Classroom to You! www.towertraining.net Yes, I've been aware of this for the past six months. They're selling very low end machines preloaded with Lindows - WalMart went to court with M$ over licensing - because M$ wanted to have every computer WalMart sold preloaded with Windows - WalMart didn't want to pay the licensing because they want max profits. WalMart wanted to offer computers WITHOUT an OS, but MS went so far as to push them into selling PC's with an OS - so they chose Lindows. This was a great slap in the face to M$ last year, and it was a win for the public. I have a mate in London, KY that does service for the Lindows PC's from WalMart.

Lindows is just a KDE based Linux distro with Wine used to run certain Windows

something more.
If you want an easy to install Linux which makes life easy for Windows fans

\begin{bitchiness} I hope the people at ELX put more care into their

unless KOffice has got a lot more user-friendly since I last looked at
it, I imagine the learning curve for the average Word user would make
installing Mandrake look like falling off a log.\end{bitchiness}
More seriously, I'm rather suspicious of distros which say you can just
install everything automatically and not have to worry about how to
partition your disk etc. Probably works out of the box 90% of the time,
and leaves the other 10% with an unusable Linux partition, and maybe a
fried Windows partition as well. Maybe I'm suffering from brand
loyalty, but I doubt if installation of any operating system gets much
easier than a standard Mdk8.2 (I know it's easier than installing Win98,
from recent and bitter experience).
