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 have been hanging around here for about a year. I have been playing with Distro's for a couple of years- mainly installing them and playing with them- not too deep, but surface.
I've tried the RedHat's and the Mandrakes, and the SUSE's, and the Xandros's, the Knoppix, Libranet, etc. I dual boot with XP currently and both OS's see 2 80 gig drives and a 160 gig drive formatted as NTFS.
I am not quite ready to convert to Linux completely YET. I am not swayed by the "Professional" reviews. I actually like the "experience" of hearing from a recent convert. Nowhere in the headlines did this say this was "Just Another Xandros Review".
Do you all remember where you came from??? I bet many of you were like Xeta at one point. Or did we all forget that????
Folks like Xeta will form a piece of nucleus running away from MS and their follies. Instead of chopping up his experience- maybe we should embrace it.
Maybe we need another site called osnews-for-noobs.com, or osnews-for-pros.com!!!
