yeah... i installed Lindows moments ago - and god, i guess i would
classify it more as bloatware than anything else. "so slow" to say the
least. i mean, everything that what makes linux Linux is all hidden
behind the GUI.

and yes, it seems to crash a lot.

is that so...
when i was searching the net for the various distributions available,
TurboLinux is most widely-used in Japan and China... it couldn't be
dying, could it?

as for Mandrake - it seems like a pretty good system, with all the
reviews ive been reading on the net. or maybe it is more of a desktop
system, then?
