I'm a long-time Windows user, but for years I've been searching for an intelligent alternative. Macs are actually a great choice, but have you priced them lately? I don't have two grand to spend for another system. I had been reading all the hoopla surrounding Xandros Desktop for a number of months and decided to take the plunge. I had been burned two times previously trying to install other Linux distributions. Their tech support was non-existent. I'm essentially working in a vacuum. When something has gone wrong in the past, I've found that I was on my own.

Phil, thanks for the review. It has created the best Xandros discussion yet on OS News. It seems like when one of "us" writes, it always seems to bring the rest of us out to comment.
As we've seen in other threads, there are so many articles and reviews about so many Linux distros, it has become dizzying. Each one seems to have at least one part of it that is unique and Xandros certainly qualifies. Even without Crossover, Xandros is very friendly, has great hardware detection and things work. I don't know, of course, how all of this will shake down with all these distros, but it could be that Xandros may be the one that many will want to install side by side with Windows. Thanks again!
