[abu_has_the_power]

does anyone use it? does it work with normal pc software and games? wat bout torrents and stuff?


any thing bout lindows that is good/bad/w/e?

[tesco]

good thing ive heard is that its kinda like windows...so i guess it wouldnt be too hard to get used to?

i think you might have better look posting in linuxworld...

[abu_has_the_power]

it is like windows. but wat i'm worried about is if it'll be compatible with windows soft and games. like will bt work in lindows. and will all the games work in lindows. it's not really a linux os

bitorrent will work in lindows. ;)

still it is meant to be pretty bad ( from what i have heard) still if you wanna give it a try dont let us stop you.

[tesco]

i doubt the games will work in it. but why not try it out? just create another partition on your hard drive and install to that, then dualboot.

wat r the pros and cons?

pros : something new to play with, get you used to linux (maybe)

cons : windows software probably wont run or will run badly, no games and hard to use until you get used to it. can be a pain in the arse to dual boot.

If your looking for a replacement for your windows desktop sorry to say all linux desktops are far from ready.
