Anyone know anything about this? It seems they are working hard to convince neophytes that Windows is good but not that good. I just don't like the approach and am disappointed in Wal-Mart for taking it.From what I know of Lindows, it strikes me as the worst of both worlds. I hear it automatically logs you in as root, thus blowing most of the famous Linux security and stability in one fell swoop.That should make windows users feel at home :) AnneAnne: Once they learn to get along without their daily dose of BSOD's they should be OK. I've heard that some of them are so badly hooked that they need them even more frequently. Sad, but true. Merry Christmas! -- cmg
I think I'm nearly over it, but you know, every once in a while I get that low-down feeling - I haven't had a good dose of adrenaline for ages!
1. 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.
