The way I see it, lindows is just a distro build uppon wine, with every scalability striped from it. Where's my compiler, where's own control of bootup scripts etc.

I would recomend knopix to any newbie who just want to try it out.
It's easy burn a CD with it, and take it with you where ever you go.. No need to install on the HD, have your office PC run with linux, without the IT-staff knowing about it..

Sure you're root all the time, but hey what's the difference, windows9x/knopix.. same restrictions, just linux instead of M$ crap.
