Xandros 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.

Back to my old distro

I was in love with Xandros 2.0 for about 5 minutes. Then I felt like I was in a straight jacket. They only support packages that you get from their server and there aren't many of them. I tried installing from a differnt source and it broke a bunch of stuff. It may have been my fault but I don't care, I dumped it in a hurry after that. It reminded me of Microsoft for some reason but I'm not sure why.
