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.

The guy needs to lay off the crystal meth. Seriously man, slow down a notch or two. You remind me of my 10 year old nephew who can't sit still for more than 15 seconds. He'll come over and beg me to play with my GameCube but he can't stand to play 1 game for more than 3 minutes before wanting to move on to the next one.
It sounds like you get more joy out of installing Linux than you do actually using it. Maybe getting a Linux distro to install gives you a sense of accomplishment? Well, I guess .. if that's your thing. But I think there's more to it than just getting it to successfully install. What are you looking for anyway? I don't just don't understand the thrill behind downloading an ISO set, burning it to CD, installing it, then formatting and moving on to the next one without even giving the distro a fair shot. "This is ugly. Screw it. Next!"? Maybe you should be a bit more observant when picking a distro to begin with? Find one that will fit your "needs" and then give it a fair try before giving up on it. If right out of the box it doesn't act and behave exactly like some other distro that you were previously happy with, then maybe you should start asking yourself why you ever left that previous distro to begin with? Obviously you aren't learning anything new with all these distros you are trying - so like - what's the point? "Tried this one, the default wallpaper sucked so I'm not going to use it."
