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.

Xandros did not install on my system, i had all the rec specs and it hung at configuring hardware, it threw an eppy at my video cards, can't handle dual display it would seem.
Also trying to get most linux distros to recognise my speedtouch usb adsl modem is a waste of time, of course i could waste hours installing all the files from sf but why should i ? At least with windows you get decent install and detection, when linux can match this then i'll be back, but not for a few years methinks.
Nice try but nada cigar.
