Since my test system contains other OS’es, I admit that even though I knew I chose the right partition, I worried that Lindows might somehow decide to install somewhere on its own. There’s very little in the way of options – even if you chose not to “TAKE OVER ENTIRE DISK,” you simply select a partition, give the computer a name and a “system password” (which is the root password, but never referred to as such), and choose continue. In fact, to a seasoned Linux user, or even one with casual experience, it’s nearly disconcerting. It’s blazingly fast, about 7 minutes on my system, and requires very little attention.

I’ve installed various Linux and BSD systems close to 100 times, and Lindows installation is the easiest I’ve ever experienced. Lindows is much, much more, and at the same time – much, much less. But why would you want to? This is no ordinary Linux, and shouldn’t be treated as such. You can still go to the command line and administer your system like any Linux box. Familiar users will be able to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and use apt-get to install and manage their packages. Lindows is based on Debian Linux, and under the hood, is still exactly that. Unlike other Linux distributions, Lindows assumes no previous experience with Linux, no experience with installing alternative OSes, and little knowledge of computers. LindowsOS (hereafter, casually, “Lindows”) is a project aimed a users of Microsoft Windows.

This piece will tell you not only about my experience with LindowsOS 4.0, but also what you need to know to arm yourself with the knowledge to make the decision whether LindowsOS is right for you. LindowsOS has been reviewed many times over, mostly with favorable results – but this is not just another review. What sets LindowsOS 4.0 apart from the crowd is not what is shares with standard Linux approach, but what it doesn’t.
