Take a look at the parent companies though, AOL and Linux together. Once AOL makes a version for linux (and Lindows is pretty noob looking for Linux), it may take off. I guess this will have to do for now though.

The move teams up two companies who are perpetually engaged in separate battles against software giant Microsoft. Lindows, which is being touted as a low-cost alternative to Windows, ran into legal trouble with Microsoft for initially promising to offer a version of Linux that would run many Windows applications. Although it has since backed off that claim, it is still targeting the consumer segment of the market that has been essentially locked up by Microsoft's ubiquitous Windows operating system.
Meanwhile AOL Time Warner and Microsoft are fighting to control consumers' desktops. AOL's Netscape browser software has watched Microsoft's Internet Explorer corner the browser market. AOL and Microsoft also compete in the Internet service provider market, instant messaging, and for Web traffic to their portals.
