Just more of the same trash you'd expect from any of the M$ bought and paid for fudsters. Lindows is probably lame but a number of blatant falsehoods including "Linux is more difficult to install than Windows" P'Lease grab a brain!

Heh, i agree. Even Debian which has been regarded as the "most difficult distribution" is absurdly easy to install. If you take the bloated route, which you might as well do in a windows vs linux comparison, it even loads up your GUI 90% of the time.

I have to comment on this ->

Instead, the company sent me complicated and potentially risky instructions for changing the refresh rate by entering obscure Unix commands such as "xf86cfg."

Ok im sorry, but if you find "xf86cfg" or any derivative of that command as a "potentially risky and complicated" ordeal, then you probably find using your can opener a life threatening event.

As whoever started this stated, please get a brain.
