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.

>Do you mean "hobbleware"? Do they give anything back to the free software comunity? (esp. considering that they take so much of there produkt from it)
Yes they do. They've committed updates to several opensource projects including KDE. They also gave away $100,000 worth in copies of boxed Xandros at a Linux expo last fall. They're a member of the Desktop Linux Consortium, and here's a list of Xandros' commits to KDE from the last beta.
