Lindows is crap-olah.  Not only does it default to running as root (just
like MS Windows XP defaults to running with admin privs), Lindows will
nickel-and-dime you for every piece of software you want to install. 
They charge you to user their click-n-run warehouse to get FREE
SOFTWARE.  I am not against paying for a software (I am a programmer),
and I am not against paying for services.  I just don't think Lindows
offers anything worth money and they are really nickel-and-dime'ing
newbies.

New users are better to get Fedora and use Livna, Freshrpms, DAG and
Fedora apt repositories.  Install synaptic and have a ball
point-n-clicking your way to more then 3,000+ applications.

So, I installed LINUX!
