where can i get lindows for free ?
<BR>if not isn´t that sort of against the linux code of conduct or will the copyleft laws be raped like microsoft did whith windows
<BR>
<BR>the only leagle dwl i can get for lindows wil cost 99$ +- = R1000 depending on the time off day and week
<BR>
<BR>linux only needs a few thing to kick serious bitmaps 1.File naming conventions
<BR>2. User friendly
<BR>3.Gaming compatibility (not just ports for sertuin games but over all compatibility)
<BR>4.User frienly
<BR>5. User friendly
<BR>6. And just perhaps if possible direct x compatibility (curse curse microsoft) all heil opengl 1.3 and 2

Lindows
Woo Hoo Lindows is here..Ah well it is a start for the non-technical Linux user...but Ouch $$99 ??
<BR>
<BR>Nope no ´free´ versions of this baby...This is a full on commercial offering much like Suse 8 and seems it will stay that way. Remember its still costs a heck of a lot to develop and support any software or OS. And in relative terms it is cheaper for the Yanks..maybe not so much for our Rand though.
<BR>
<BR>Guess you will have to get the more technical stuff like Red Hat, but do not fear- compared to a few years ago the latest releases are MUCH more user friendly. Take your time and get to know it (prefrably on a spare machine, to avoid -er- mishaps). Before you know it you will be a Linux Guru and laugh in disdain at the poor Windows slaves (Well maybe not quite).
<BR>
<BR>In anycase Linux is getting better, even without Lindows you can enjoy it, and play most of the Open GL games. Just keep your Windows handy for the rest

I know linux can be scary at first, but just take baby steps, and try and avoid Lindows.
<BR>rather get something like Mandrake or redhat.
<BR>
<BR>Celebhir: linux is a great programing platform, you will love the coding because there is such a varity, C, C++, etc, give linux a look at, you might even find it a nice platform to program on aswell <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_smile.gif">

<BR>Suse 8 has a free version available and quote:

Surely because Lindows nothing more than a user friendly Linux you can download the source code because of the GNU licence ? If so just download it and compile and you´ll have free Lindows.

OK Lindows isnt free!
It also sucks huge!
If you want to learn how to use linux rather use Mandrake Linux http://www.mandrake.com
or use RedHat which is now known as Fedora http://fedora.redhat.com
k
thank
bye!
