I just ain't sure about the whole Lindows "thang". Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I can tell (which ain't much, 'cause I ain't very Linux aware) It is almost as locked down as windows, and the argument about free programs for linux does not apply to lindows because you have to pay a $99 per year subscription to get any programs that are "compatible" (correct me again, please! it is my mom's computer, and I don't spend enough time at her house to know better) and worth a piss. I know of linux, and it sounds like a great idea, but I think that most people are like me, and didn't grow up learning the art of the command line interface, and are afraid of it. and to do anything cooler than you can do in the guest user account in windows xp, you have to know something. maybe one day.....
