The Lindows release that I looked at was based on Xandros. Now Xandros
is the code from CorelLinux, it was licensed to Xandros. Xandros is
based on Debian Woody. Xandros has not released their own version yet. I
think I am getting dizzy .
I also don't think Lindows is an asset to the GNU/Linux community.
