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?
Actually yes. I remember how excited I was when I finally found a Linux distro that actually worked. It was the first release of Caldera Linux, I was much impressed that after many many kernel panics trying to install slackware and other linux versions that I finally had something that installed.
As to the opinion piece (it's not a review), maybe it's not very professional but it's honest and pretty accurately reflects my own trials in finding a Linux distro I could stick with. After several Redhats, SuSEs, Mandrakes and several others I found Xandros 1.0 and then 2.0. After a few flirts with Fedora, and Lycoris I settled back on Xandros and have enjoyed it ever since.
There's no "One distro to rule them all." And people will always differ over what the "best" distro is. But I've found Xandros meets my needs, (easy install, clean interface, good file management, great integration with my Windows network, easey updates and patches and more) more efficiently and with far fewer headaches than any other distro I've tried.
