This is the second in my series of reviews for debian-based commercial distros that might be appropriate for SOHO use. The first article covered my exploration of Lindows, and this one is focused on Libranet. Before I get started with Libranet I want to clarify a couple of points.

I really liked this review. I've also been trying Linux distros lately to find one that fits my needs. I recently bought and installed Libranet and installed it next to Fedora Core on one of my computers (2 GHz Celeron, 256 MB, NVidia GeForce 4MX). I liked Libranet -- everything seemed to work well. However, programs launched much, much slower under Libranet than under Fedora Core. Does anyone know if recompiling the kernel for my CPU will bring Libranet on par speedwise with Fedora Core? Fedora is beautiful and fast, but has so many bugs that it isn't really usable yet. Also, Libranet didn't seem to want to work with the demo of Crossover Plugin that I downloaded. Anyone got this to work?
As for me, I've got my hopes up for Xandros 2. But if I could speed up Libranet and get it to work with Crossover Plugin, it would be a sweet system.
