Sounds nice that it is easy to set up, but from the screenshots Xandros looks rather plain KDE, with some uglification. Honestly the Xandros touch looks horrible! ...They should learn from Lindows, Lycoris and Mandrake here!
---------------------
What has Lindows done to beautify KDE that Xandros hasn't? This is not a flame war cry but honestly Lindows hasn't done enough "function" customization to KDE. The use still has to figure out stuff like in vanilla KDE. Xandros is good and admit it ... unless you're paid to write about Lindows etc in the way that you have done.
I use Redhat9, Mandrake 9.2, PCLinuxOS (which is pretty good), and a host of linux distros so I am not particularly sympathetic to Xandros. However, your comment about "uglification" is uncalled for. THe default Plastic theme of Xandros is probably the best and is included by default in KDE 3.2 too!
