Hm, it's been a year and a half now, so it's probably worth asking
this again.
Is there any Linux distribution and support service uitable for the
completely clueless home desktop computer user? It has to be
something inexpensive and dead-simple which Just Works, yet gives
them, out of the box all the Internet browsing desktop bells
and whistles the expect - Java, Flash, mp3 and mpeg players, etc.
Does Linspire
meet those requirements? Last time I looked (when it was still called
"Lindows"), they were having the desktop user log in as root - ugh,
sorry, no way in hell will I recommend any system doing that. Is that
fixed now?
Any Linspire competitors? (And any that are Debian or Ubuntu based?)
Mepis
might be the ideal Linux distribution for this, except AFAIK there is
no one you can buy AOL-like support from.
