MeetTheGeeks.org: Lindows OS 3.0 Review

“I know what your thinking, it looks like that other product of
a similar name, and yes, on some points with that I’ll agree, but
take the hood off and get to the guts of it all, and you will start
to see something very different. Kick back and relax and take a
tour of something that actually works in this crazy world, and
actually get to grips, with Lindows.

“Right, time to install and setup this new mythology, first
things first, an open mind and forgetting everything you know about
operating systems. Its not 100% time to relearn, just time to learn
how things can be done if planned well. After you boot from the CD,
a few moments into the install, no more than a minute, your faced
with a license that you agree to, standard blarb and then your into
the options of install. Its simply a choice of two methods, and you

“The first option will remove EVERYTHING from the drive, all
partitions, any existing OS, your files, the whole lot. IF that is
what you intend on doing then select it, if you intend on running
Lindows along side another OS then select advanced install and
proceed to select the partition you want to install on. Dont think
Lindows can name match like an M$ system can, it cant, make sure
you know what drive number and partition you want it on before you
proceed. Click next and then you given a summary screen, letting
you know what’s about to happen and the options you selected. Your
given the chance to check everything, take the advice and check
thoroughly, no one wants you to lose critical data, so this is your
last chance. When your all done and happy, select next and Lindows
starts to install…”
