Anyone tried the Lindows 4.0302?
- Thread starter Sebouh
- Start date
I think it was renamed Linspire and they just came out with version 5.0.
I too was wondering about this OS, and if I could use my favorite software like Family Tree Maker and Paintshop Pro with it. Any compatibility issues with software and/or hardware?
In any case, as soon as I get some $$, I was thinking of buying and installing this on an older computer so I could play around with it and not mess up anything important.

Linspire is just Linux with some GUI tweaks to make it look and feel like Windows (a little but of a generalization, but not much). So no Windows programs (other then the ones that also come in a Linux flavor) will run without emulation software like WINE.

I believe that you can get version 4.5 for free. Fill out the form for a download version then click where it says apply coupon, and use "lindows" as the name of the coupon. I think that code still works.
Or I believe you can get version 5.0 free, with a subscription to the C'N'R warehouse. Check their website for details.
Lindows os very easy to use and install, an excellent choice for windows users switching.
