The earlier link is a joke. We are talking about two different | things. | Actually, we seem to be talking about a lot of different things. The link above describes a Russian disto that was based on LFS. IMHO, this project now seems dead because they say `Added KDE 2.2' as a new feature. Now, there was one more link posted, viz. http://www.linux-online.ru/desktop/. This seems to describe a Russian disto, again, but based on Fedora. This distro has the `99 boot' and `activation' jazz. Also this distro seems to be not free (as in money and freedom), while the previous one (the one based on LFS) does seem to be free. The screenshots posted were of the second, FC based Linux-XP. The link postes that got this whole thread started, the one pointing to tuXfiles.org, was a spoof on WinXP.
Incidentally, can they still use `Linux' in their product name and then make it closed/non-free? Isn't there a clause in the GPL that protects against this?
