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.

" Does Xondros or any other distro fully redetect HW each and every boot, ie can the HD+OS be moved between entirely different systems that are themselves ok with the distro? If not, does any of them plan on going that direction?"
Yes Xandros checks for new hardware each and everytime (e.g. attach a new monitor and it will automatically configure it upon rebooting). So I imagine it does what you require. The HW detection actually slows down the boot time a little.
