shrike Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hey there... I know that everybody seems to rush for Lindows every time a new 'freebie' comes out, but since they always expire, here's my details: Login: shrike@freelindows.spamaway.com Password: freelindows I don't care too much if you give people these details, just don't go changing the logon and password details, because that will screw other people up.

[ timko ] Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 If someone does change it, all you have to do is click the "Forgot password" link on the login page, enter your email address (the one you used to register - shrike@... ) and it will send you a new one so you can log back in and change it. But of course, that's only useful if someone tells you, here maybe, that it's changed (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stezo2k Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 lol quality the pass actually works :) isn't it illegal though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrike Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 yeah.. I realise that timko, but I also changed the email address stored in the site, so that I didn't get ****loads of spam... so maybe that won't work. Also, stezo2k... I have no idea if it's legal or not, but if these 'promo' things pop up every couple of weeks, then I don't think it's that much of an issue. If Lindows has a problem, or Neowin gets contacted about it then that's ok, I'm happy for it to be removed/banned etc. Just so long as I don't get sued for $billions, then I'm happy :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ timko ] Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 OSNews are also doing the coupon thing, although this time the download is via BTorrent http://info.lindows.com/p2p/LOSp2pOSNews.html Hurry! This coupon offer will end soon, and can end at anytime without notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrike Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 yeah... in the My.Lindows site there's a list of CDs that you can download, and some have BitTorrent links on there too... so since they're sharing via Torrent, it's not that bad for me to give my details away. edit: YOU ******S, YOU CHANGED THE PASSWORD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d10p Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Someone is obviously going to change the password, alot of people here are ungrateful and immature. Wow...Lindows is a pretty desperate distro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane-UK Veteran Posted March 6, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 6, 2004 I can't believe someone changed the password. Real mature. Well thanks shrike for your generosity until some idiot ruined it for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrike Posted March 7, 2004 Author Share Posted March 7, 2004 yeah.. I can't reclaim the account, but luckily I used all spam information after I registered, so they can't get my details. There's no point in me starting up another account, because another idiot will do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tek Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 SOME ###### CHANGED THE PASSWORD!!! You mean you honestly thought that no one would? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrike Posted March 7, 2004 Author Share Posted March 7, 2004 well just because there was an opportunity for somebody to do it, it didn't mean that they had to. Just like if you had the chance to blow up the world... it doesn't mean that you have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
