I had to go with, its new and shiny, closest to my answer because my answer is "because its there". I actually love XP coming off of DOS, Windows 3.1, Win 95, 98, 2000 and even ME for about a week. Free software is good, though I find its easier to pay in the long run to get all updates. Its also getting harder and harder to find free versions on many Linux websites and Linux still has a LONG way to go to be as user friendly as Windows. You may disagree with that, but take it from someone who runs it casually, its friendlieness sucks. Bad. All of them. Well, Lindows makes it a bit easier, but you dont know what you did really. If they want to go mainstream, the average guy needs to be able to just go without all the driver and app issues I and many others have. Too bad they cant support .exe files out of the box and ship files and drivers that way, it would make all the difference in the world.

Since no one is answering on their super support forums, maybe someone can tell me what drivers to use for Lindows? Does a company have to make Lindows drivers? I have a Intel network card that it does not recognize, so I need drivers, the only options @ Intels support site are RedHat, Sus and Windows drivers. Its the onboard lan on a new Intel D875PBZ motherboard. Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, I was wrong, I have 2 versions of Linksys cards (2.0 and 4.1) an older 3com card and a Realtek card. I went with the Linksys 4.1 and am here now in Lindows working fine. That was much easier this way Thanks guys.

Yeah, I have used D-Link without problems under Suse, Lindows, RedHat and Mandrake, so that might be the easy shortcut.

Ahhh, that makes sense, I will check into that, I just downloaded the newest beta, it might be supported in that or worst case, might be easier to pull a D-Link or Linksys card out of the closet and run that Thanks guys.
