it's so wimped out to be user friendly it's almost usless for a server

Yea, its supposed to be User Friendly. I don't see any advantages of hosting on it since servers don't use the GUI for the most part anyway.

Just my 2 cents

It was never meant to be used as a server operating system. I wouldn't try it :stickout:

redhat isn't just the only distro that you can download, linux and most *nix OS's are free. for linux specifically, visit: www.linuxiso.org

I used to use Caldera eDesktop which was nice, of course eServer was best for servers (duh:)) Now I only use RedHat. Havnt used lindows but have not heard of anyone running a server with it:)

Never used it on a server. I think it was really meant for the non-Linux minded folks or those who are just learning. I did play around with it about a month ago and wasn't overly impressed...but maybe that's just me.

Lindows shold be good if you wanna host one - ten sites per server :beer:



From the sounds off lindows and from the beta's you can see much programming errors...that will not work well in a server :)




PS : If a Windows Server already doesn't work well, why will LINDOWS WORK ?
