Before I add 'my' two cents worth upon the current heap of Xandros reviews, let me introduce myself... rather my Linux self. I am a noobie. Perhaps not such a newbie as a newbie could be since I have been playing with and learning Linux since 'Corel Linux' (1999-2000?). Before Corel I'd purchased a copy of a 1998 Turbo Linux in a discount store and was beyond elated to find something to mess with.

Xandros is not a distribution for hobbyists who frequently download, install, and uninstall new software. Businesses, especially, should discourge (better, prevent) installation of unauthroized software.
Xandros users are warned that changing sources may cause serious problems with installed official Xandros software and make problem resolution difficult or impossible. There is no discussion of pinning, since that is beyond the scope of the needs of the Xandros market.
FWIW, I'm an experienced Linux users and there's nothing in the other sources that I want on my desktop.
