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.

Most posters here are 'typical' linux users IN MY EXPERIENCE. Too serious. Too rude. No sense to humor. It's unfortunate that OSNews labelled or posted it as a 'review' because it is clearly a personal experience and opinion piece. I enjoyed reading and actually read the entire thing. Most 'reviews', I just skim over and get bored after three paragraphs.
As a NOOBIE myself, I can totally relate to this article only my experience with linux so far has been nothing but total disappointment. However Xandros Desktop 2 is the closest I have come to actually having a linux dektop that is useable. If I only had the apps that I could use on a daily basis, I'd switch in a heartbeat. Pesonally, I do a hell of lot more than surf the net or type letters on my computer and linux just does not have what I need.
