I've never tried Lindows, but I do enjoy watching their "charts" of the most popular Linux software. I find all sorts of cool stuff that I then go figure out how to download and install free elsewhere (granted, it can take me hours to do this!)

I may just break down and switch to Lindows. It would be pretty cool to install all that stuff with just one click. I notice they have almost 1,800 programs in their warehouse now. nice!

I use Lindows and the part I really love is that not only can you install any of those programs with one click, but they update the programs in their warehouse with the latest versions all the time and my Lindows computer actually lets me know when there are newer versions available for any of the programs I have installed on my computer and with one click I can update them. It's very slick.

I use to use SuSE, and it was cool because it installed tons of stuff right from the get go, but I started to not like having all that stuff I never used on my computer, plus it was very hard for me to figure out how to update one of the pre-installed programs once a newer version was out. Lindows solved both of those problems for me.

I don't run Lindows, but can I still get them somewhere?

No, they're for CnR Warehouse members only.

No, they're for CnR Warehouse members only.Wrong. Orbz is available from http://www.21-6.com. StarOffice is available from Sun. Wallpaper can be found just about anywhere. There is not one piece of software offered by lindows that is unique to lindows, including and especially click-n-run.
