Lindows is Linux with a number of tools (based on WINE, a Windows emulator for
Linux) which will support various Windows software. If your intention is to
run Windows programs, I would be a bit cautious about this product (I say this
as a long-time Linux user). You might try www.lindows.com to find information,
or you could try looking on www.winehq.org (I believe the lindows OS will
probably run *more* apps than wine will).
