Must say it is not bad for a beta version. You download a single InstallShield executable, run the program, the only information you have to enter is a username. The installation queries the Windows registry for the relevant devices and figures out what Linux drivers should be loaded. It DOES run from a UMSDOS filesystem, so it's not a perfect solution, but for a newbie who would like to try it out without having to repartition their hard drive, it seemed to be pretty user-friendly. Another downside was that it chose the frame-buffer video device instead of the native X driver for my ATI card, but again, WinLinux is a good solution for somebody itching to try Linux, but not wanting to take too much risk.
