“The final beta version of WinLinux 2000 reached the 20,000
downloads mark on October 10 through CNET Download.com.
Only 5
days after being listed on the shareware portal the beta version is
the most popular Linux software with about two times the number of
downloads of the second.”

“WinLinux 2000 is the first Linux for Windows users and it
features a full Linux system that can be installed and configured
from within Windows 95/98 and that automatically detects and
configures most of the computer hardware.”
