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.

>They only support packages that you get from their server and there aren't many of them.
Not true, there are hundreds of apps available from the Xandros servers (maybe thousands I'm not going to count them) and you can get the full 10,000 selections from Debian if you want them. Are you expecting Xandros to support all 10,000 apps themsleves? They can only support a limited subset of applications that they've tested and verified.
> 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,
Probably your own fault. I've installed and removed a hell of a lot of applications (from a variety of sources) from my system without breaking a thing.
