Lindows, Inc. is offering a package containing the latest
versions of three popular Linux operating systems: Linspire, Fedora
and Mandrake. For the first time, Linspire, Fedora and Mandrake are
being offered together in one package.

This Desktop Linux Comparison Kit is so named because it
includes three popular Linux operating systems, which would
otherwise need to be ordered separately. The selection of the three
products was based on their product completeness and commercial
familiarity.

Linspire was selected for its ease of use and extensive feature
set; Mandrake has a well established following by technical
professionals; and Fedora is especially tuned to interoperate with
Red Hat’s Linux server software. Each of the products can be
installed on a modern desktop or laptop computer.

The Desktop Linux Comparison Kit includes the following:

  • Linspire 4.5
  • Red Hat Fedora Core 2
  • Mandrake 10.0 Community Edition
  • Comprehensive online and printable checklist

Businesses, educational institutions and computer enthusiasts
will find this Kit valuable in determining the best solution for
their needs. Besides 4 gigabytes of software, a handy checklist is
included to help evaluate the products on ease of installation and
use, media playback, plug & play hardware device detection,
virus checking and more. Upon completion users will have a good
understanding of which mainstream Linux version best suits their
computer needs.

The Linux bundle comes with 8 CDs of the most current software
in a digital format or a boxed version, available for an
introductory price of $29.95 and $39.95, respectively. To order,
