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.

I absolutely need MS office (don't say M$, it looks stupid and it immature) because the Web (.asp) based applications I work with run of MS office protocalls, and I need to be running the standard to correctly assess our application.

Again, In the web application I use every day, I have to open links to Adobe files. I installed IE just to have it installed and incase I find an incompatability with Konq, I run this work in Konquerer using the user agent set to identify my browser as IE in Windows 2k.

Personal Preferance here, I like GAIM.

Hows that? This is not a "personal" review, this is me working Linux into a Microsoft shop and having to conform to the Microsoft applications around me.
