Lindows 4.5 Developer edition, free download.

If you don't subscribe to the (one-click) Software, you can't play DVDs or use a scanner. When I went back to the website I notice that even after you pay to use these (one-click) install programs. They also charge more money for certain downloads ,such as the DVD player. $5 for members of the (one-click) club and $40 for non-members.

$50 Lindows 4.5
$50 For a 1 year membership (one-click)
$5 per download for certain programs

Maybe they should just charge $99 and include all the programs that home users use like scanner functionality and DVD player...etc. Then they could compete with Microsoft.
 
If you don't want to pay for the 1-click install of it, just download the source and compile it yourself.

The things you have to pay for on CNR are because of license issues. If you aren't worried about the possible legal issues--or there are no issues in your country--you can download most of them from other locations and install them yourself.
 
that was the easiest linux install i've ever done

The minimum specs say 800mhz! That can't be right...and I was hoping on putting this on my 266 laptop. Anyone know anything about the "real" specs. That seems high for a linux distro.
 
so can anyone tell me the difference or benefits between the lindowsos-devel-4.5.189 and lindowsos-full-4.5.122 I grabbed both....

developers edition contains stuff for developers

so if you don't plan on developing any software, I see no reason to use it over the full

cheap advertisement and hoping people will pay for CNR
 
well if its more secure and stable than windows wich im guessing it is since it is linux and they either build in support for windows apps that i doubt will ever happen unless that the only way for ms to make money is by selling thier code or people make good apps and games for it like photoshop, doom3, hl2 ect ect then id say bye bye bill! but till then i will mess around with it and see what it can do but keep my windows boxes.
 
Would this work on a 400Mhz K6 Compaq with 64MB of ram?
