Lindows OS CD

Lindows OS CD

I have downloaded Lindows OS from Archive Linux site and run it on Box Utility.

After Puppy Linux my first entry to Installing Linux on 32 bit computer was Lindows.

It was very refreshing memory to my Linux entry.

But heart throb was Mandrake Linux which I tested on Box and then I went Foresight Linux which was my last 32 bit entry of Redhat base. I could not get an old copy of Suse Linux to download and test. Fortunately Bliss Os did not boot on my NUC. I hate all Goggle Android and Their Studio OS.

 I have stated that elsewhere in this blog site.

But Chimera OS is my latest discovery.

That is to play games only second to Batocera. 

Google has left a  copy for Debian but it crashed on installing.

That is the acid test for Android OS. Do not try it.

LindowsOS (later: Linspire) – a commercial operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux by Linspire, Inc. It was focused on ease-of-use and targeting home computer users.

It used the WINE API to run Microsoft Windows applications. 

The WINE API was later dropped, as LindowsOS used a program called “Click’N’Run” (CNR). CNR is similar to Synaptic used to download apps with the APT tool.

Lindows was shipped with a customized KDE 3.x desktop, custom applications borderline cloning the Apple iLife suite, and a primitive “app store,” it was intended to be easy to use and fully functional out of the box.

In 2001, a company called Lindows Inc. created a new Linux Operating System.
The project founder is Michael Robertson.
