Lindows is based on Debian. They are licensing Xandros' linux distribution. Xandros bought Corel Linux last year.
It's not a dumber form of Redhat. It is "dumbed up" similar to windows, in that Lindows uses generic names and no command line so people to get confused or freaked out about edit .Xdefaults or whatever.
I commend Lindows and think they're fulfilling a great niche. Robertson is a motivated entrepreneur, and many people seem to resent that.
