Lindows ....
Yuckkkk ..
I have tested the beta version , and it's not my cup of tea ..

I think that the lindows guys must do some thinking about how things look and feel .
It looks like mandrake 6.x !
And what to say about windows program compability, that does not exist ???
I tried all standard windows programs installed on my box, one worked .. winzip .
I tried to start a game, krashhh ... had to reboot the machine .


I will however retry lindows when they have got a non beta and see what it feels like,
the concept itself is Awesome, they have some more work to do though ..


Sorry about all the criticism .. but it did'nt work very well ..
