Yet another toillet distro.It looks better than it runs.

If it's a toilet distro it should get the runs pretty well, shouldn't it?

I have never seen their servers up (see screenshot)! As for the freshrpms/fedora channels these worked very well for normal applications, except for the system files (e.g. kdebase, kernel etc) where conflicts occured.

That rather skips over the need for a commercial distribution with support, wouldn't you say? Basically they're just throwing a Fedora based distro together in a hurry. I don't care for Lycoris or Linspire much (don't see the point), but at least you can do things with Xandros such as getting up and running on any sort of Windows network in a very short period of time.
