  1. Evaluation versions? by chochos · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've never seen an evaluation version of a Linux distro before (though I'm sure they've been around for a while). How does this work? do you have to enter some activation code to get the whole thing to work? is it a special version of the kernel modified to stop working after a certain date (and if so, don't they need to distribute the source for that, or you could just replace the kernel anyway)?
