I would like u ppl to get your facts right before commenting... lindows does allow you to add users and not run root. Though it runs root by default, now it adds the 'user manager' link onto the kde menu and also under a pop-up box which starts after it is installed, the 'advanced' button, it allows you to add users. Besides, advanced users who can use the terminal can by all means set up othe rusers and not use the root a/c.
plz get your facts right. Im no fan of lindows but i feel its a great and easy2 use OS though the ease can be irritating to me ( lindows is not the def. OS i use; i use redhat. ).... its quite insecure ... but not to the extent of windoze i guesss.
The only thing which bugs me is that lindows imposes a fee onto its open source software and contribute very less back..
the lindows software costs tens of dollars and THEN.... look at their click-n-run. four dollars a month to run a cache of software that can be available for free on the web ! (like opera, mozilla, gimp )!!!! is this some big, evil moneymaking scheme??
