[geeks] Lindows

[James]

OK, I get the feeling that something is wrong with Lindows required "click 
and go softwarehouse membership". It IS linux after all. Is there anything 
preventing someone from downloading all the apps and mirroring them for 
free? Is the package system unique and copyrighted or something? Has anyone 
actually run this distribution yet?

I need to know because the wife is threatening to buy their new laptop. I 
don't want to deal with a subscription to otherwise "free" software.

BTW, the good news here is that my wife has had enough of Gates and 
Company. She even publishes html using Notepad at this time (she'll love 
VIM with its colored function notations).
