In depth
Linux is based on open industry standards, so you are not obligated to buy everything from the same company. It comes with a handful of applications, development tools, games, Internet applications and more. Most big software developers already support Linux, and more are joining. You can even download "office" applications for personal use, free of charge.
All that power usually demands a complete reconfiguration of the software on your computer, and that can be very difficult if you are not experienced with PC hardware and software. Designed and built to be the easiest to use Linux system, WinLinux 2000 installs and runs directly from Windows. Unlike other Linux installations, it does not put your existing data at risk by requiring hard drive repartitioning.
WinLinux 2000 detects most hardware devices, and automatically configures current settings and preferences. You start WinLinux 2000 just like any other Windows application. It even shares free disk space with Windows. The graphical interface run by WinLinux 2000 ("K Desktop Environment") is remarkably easy to use. A troubleshooting utility is included to simplify the request of online support.
Verdict
WinLinux 2000 runs on Windows 95/98/Me and is available under the GNU Public License license — the installer is 215 MB. We’ve catalogued it under Emulators.
