[Cialug] lin4win VS Linspire for non linux user

[Don Cady]

Win4Lin is an emulator, or 'virtualization host' (whatever..), to run 
windows inside linux. I haven't tried it yet, as I've been using vmware for 
so long I'm just 'used' to it.
Linspire is distribution that, as Nate said, is very consumer oriented. 
Imagine Mandrake aimed at 70yr. AOL-using grandmothers who want to learn the 
least possible in order to use it. And yet it's still Linux, and you could 
set it up as a Lamp box. I have run the LiveCD to look at it. I haven't 
installed it. It works fine.
