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.

I find the article a bit odd to have on OSNews, but I guess it's fun to see something like this once in a while.
In addition to that, I did enjoy it because I have the same phycotic switching habits that the author does. I've had 4 different OS installs on the same machine in a day before. I have learned a lot from it though. This is because when one distro does something automatically a way that you like it, you can look and see how it is done (fstab is a great example) And if it doesn't do something, then going to hunt down the answer will teach you a lot.
In the end I am on slackware. I still will try other stuff once in a while, but I like slack with dropline gnome so much that I don't even lust over OSX as much anymore. I reccomend that the author gives slack a chance, it is actually very easy to install once you have a little experience, and its VERY easy to tweak. I love to mess with stuff and hack to OS to do exactly as I please, and slack is very simple and for that reason is easy to beat on. Read Eugenia's articles on it.
