    I just have to say that I'm impressed. Since Lindows has gotten less-than-rave reviews on the Wal-Mart special, I wasn't expecting this type of review for the standalone Lindows.

    The only thing I have to say is that they need to pick a better colour scheme for their logo. What is that: seafoam green?

    There is one comment here that tends to discredit the review: "During testing we installed a silly game called XGalaga...". Since when is XGalaga a silly game? It's one of the finest games available on [GNU/]Linux!
