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.

>Xandros and Lindows cripple too much
What? Xandros provides a streamlined system without a lot of redundant apps. So I get one text editor instead of 7 installed by default. To me this seems like Xandros did the right thing.
Also, Xandros is debian based. I added a debian repository mirror to Xandros networks and can install most any applications that I need right from their GUI. I use my Xandros system for Java development and crunching oceanographic data. It works great. It's been much more stable and user friendly for me than Mandrake 7 and 8, Redhat 8 and 9 and Gentoo. (Please save your flames, those distros were fine but I had some problems with each, such as stability problems (redhat), or taking up too much time (gentoo))
