    Talking Lindows Developer Edition $60 for free from Google! (today only?)

    i dont usually post, but this seemed pretty kick ass, i think:...download the iso for free, or get the retail box for $10. seems to be today (sunday) only.

    I dont even know if lindows sucks or not, haha, but let me know what you guys think of this...

    hurry people...no credit cards, no bull, just click through the stuff and you can download it, including lindowslive!, lindows os, lindowsos developer edition, and a spanish version of lindows....

    I agree! Thanks again andrew!

    I'm 269 in their queue line, but seems to be going down pretty fast. Either way, it's free and worth the wait. :heart

    Oh boy, I'm #293 in line.

    I'm glad I'm on cable and can afford to wait in long lines.

    This reminds me of an Overnet or WinMX queue, but it cycles through a lot faster.

    Sweet, in the time to post my last reply the queue went down by 10.

    I should be downloading in no time.

    Now if only Microsoft would have such a "free" day.

    Wow, those Lindows servers must be getting slammed.

    It must be some pretty big files.

    Bring'em On! (only 159 people left before me) :shoot

    Finally, the download started. About 550 megabytes in one file.

    You don't have to download them all (I don't need a Spanish version).

    The FTP servers is only doing about 81k/sec. It should be done in a couple of hours.

    I haven't tried Lindows since version 3.0. Let's see if 4.5 can beat Xandros 2.0 (I doubt it).
