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.

Maybe getting a Linux distro to install gives you a sense of accomplishment? Well, I guess .. if that's your thing.
Well, that's the problem with Linux: for noobies, just getting a distro to install can be an accomplishment. As the proud owner of a RedHat workstation which sat dead for 3 months because even the Linux experts in my office, who had advocated for Linux when I wanted something less, couldn't figure out the problem installing RH (or couldn't be bothered to), I sympathize with his feelings.
I think the article is great fun to read, and might be healthy reading for other noobies interested in Linux. It certainly gives me a more positive view of Xandros.
