LindowsOS 4.0
LindowsOS 4.0 takes Linux usability to a new extreme. Easy to install and with an attractive desktop and an extremely well-organised menu system, this distribution will appeal to any Windows user wanting to give Linux a try. But experienced Linux users will decry Lindows' lack of options during installation and the sparse selection of programs available on the install CD. It's also costly in the long run, since it requires a subscription to download software -- some of which is free elsewhere. But as an entry-level Linux distribution, LindowsOS 4.0 can't be beaten. You can even run it from a CD without installing it, to see if you like it.
