I can agree that Linux makes a good product for the niche market
This was a great product, and the closest thing I have seen to a really easy Linux. I picked up an Lindows box for a friend that didn't have much for a PC budget, and played with it for a little while. It was really the only version I would ever consider replacing my Windows box with. BTW, what versions of Linux does everyone consider the easiest? I've tried a few I would try in certain places, but which do you all think is the easiest? Joe Johnson that it
fills now, but there needs to be a dumbed-down version for home machines that is widely available and supported across the market for it to really make an impact.
Small computer shops can buy Seagate hard drives with this preinstalled. I believe WalMart sells computers with Linspire instead of Windows. The product was previously named Lindows until Microsoft started attacking them in foreign courts where they actually have some rights to Windows as a brand name.
