Any one use Lindows?

I agree with you Cwk9 that it's not a good choice to stay with a GUI only because you know it. It's also a good thing to discover new things and to forget bad habits.

Oh, and your new avatar looks very well Cwk.

Yeah, download the first CD's ISO and burn it to cd using your favorite burner. The first CD is bootable, and if you don't know how to boot from a CD then all you do is go into the BIOS and change the first boot device to CDROM. The second CD, which you probably won't want, has the entire source (code) for the linux distribution. The third CD contains development tools such as many other compilers and the like, which you might not want, but if you are interested in doing any linux programming then you might love the tools. If this helped any, let me know!

[edit]
Oh, and yeah you only pay if you want to buy the disk, a manual, a fancy box, (and tech support?), so it's not worth it to most of us to pay the extra $$$. Some people like to have hard copies with fancy labels and official CDs, though.

What other edited Linux OS's do you people prefer? I've heard of Litrux, but their website is down. I want to hear some other's and then I can check them out. I always love looking at the features, screenshots, etc.

Spyder32, do you mean what distro's do we prefer? All linux distributions can be considered 'edited'; there is no official linux distribution. An official kernel is sometimes the only common denominator between distributions.

Two distro's I like, in order of preference, are Slackware and Debian, though the full Debian distribution is up to 7-8 CDs now, I think...

My favorite OS's for webservers are OpenBSD or FreeBSD--tried and true.

For gaming, you can't beat a Windows-based system with a stick, unless you want to go console. Even the best lin2win or wine emulation will not beat the fps's of a native windows kernel.

My overall favorite OS would have to be BeOS. I know its relatively unknown and not that many application developers shoot for the OS, but it's very clean and unintrusive. I just like it.

There's my 2 cents :D

I see your point, but I mean non-commericial Linux distro's. These would include Lindows, Litrux, etc. I want to know of more, and there websites so I can check them out. Sorry for not giving enough information though.
