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.

Re: Where do I download it?

>I have been searching the 'Xandros' site for an ISO download of 'Xandros'. Is there none? Do they really expect people to pay 90 bucks for a product that is based to 99.9% on other peoples (free) work?

There's a 30-day free trial iso coming so you can try it before you buy.

As for paying for it. Of course they expect you to pay for it just like Lindows, SuSE, Libranet and all the other commercial distros expect you to pay for thier full product and support.

With Xandros you get an excellent File Manager, Crossover Office & Plugin which cost about $90 alone, good network support (it's the only distro I've used that supports my network printer), and an overall well designed distro. It was well worth the $69 I paid for the upgrade.
