Mom Meets Linux - A Lindows 4.0 Review

[Visentinel]

Version 4.0 of the popular desktop distro adds new features for newbies and gets easier to use. It even passed our Mom test

Lindows has come a long way from our first review of version 2.0. Each release has gotten a little bit slicker and easier to use than the last and version 4.0 continues along those lines.

This latest version of Lindows adds a number of new features designed to help new users get up and running quickly. We were particularly impressed with the slick new flash-based desktop tutorial that lets newbies become immediately comfortable with how things work on the Lindows desktop. Experienced users won't need it, but beginners will find it indispensable.

Seen it b4, but not a bad concept. There are, however, much better distro's than this one. Mandrake 9 or Red Hat 9 r the go. But then again, there are alot of exploits/security loopholes for these distro's and it is a pain to patch them...
