one of the best desktop apps ever made, should be in the software smithsonian along with winzip, netscape, a few others from that era.

Early Lindows employee here, great bit of nostalgia in that post.

On the other side of the dot-com bust there were a lot of hard things that the team achieved even if the adoption never hit.

For example, a $199 PC sold at Walmart was notable for the time. It offered a working desktop with a full productivity suite from first boot. Without opening terminal, updating a repo, dealing with sound card or video card driver issues, etc.

Busy building a team and killer products... not much of a poster otherwise. I've been pretty happy that way for the past 9+ years on HN.
