If you're at all interested in LindowsOS, this is a good deal. Lifetime Click'N'Run and updates for a one-time price. Not at all that bad a deal if you're a fan or contemplating LindowsOS for a distro. And the money goes to promoting/defending Linux in Sweden (Netherlands sold out). There's only

Probably Lindows. Not bad, but Xandros would be a better choice. See why below. I have a dedicated Lindows computer -- now with a modem (if I can get it to work). Lindows uses a Debian distribution of Linux. Can I set up a Local Area Network within that version of Linux? (or
