I don't see any copies for sale on Trademe, nor do I see a free download link on their website.... is this different in some way from other distrobutions? How can I go about getting a copy, or do I have to buy it. Thanks Ashley	Ashley Matthews (550)

Check in the back of the PCW Mag for details. Is there a reason why you specifically ask for Lindows? They've been in trouble in courts with MS over the last little while...... Im not doubting that its a good OS, just commenting.... Chill.	Chilling_Silence (9)
