Star Xandros 2.0 - An end to Windows? An adventure in Open source
Linked by Chris Nabinger on Wed 14th Jan 2004 20:23 UTC
Xandros I'm a windows user by nature, I've been playing around with Linux for a little while, I'm no Expert in any way but I've used quite a few distro's. The first distro I ever stuck with for any amount of time Was Xandros 1.0, which a friend provided for me. Except for the fact that it ran an old version of KDE it was perfect for me, but the old KDE crippled my work. Enter Xandros 2.0.

you have no clue what you are talking about, few years off win95? do you remember win95 ever autodetecting 90% of your hardware? or autodetecting, configuring networking? or file sharing? how about even having USB support?

i don't think so.

and you are accusing the author of trolling.

xandros isn't bad, but not perfect. i couldnt get it to work the way i wanted it to, with my multi-partition setup, and it didn't work well with my linux compatible pcmcia wireless card. it worked with beta2, but beta3 and the final release didn't work.
