Xandros 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.

crossover and/or wine

Hi!

I just want to ask for your experience w/ wine and/or crossover. We would like to install linux for an office, and they need ms office for their work. I'd like to know if getting ms office work for is only possible w/ crossover things, or w/ (as i know gpl) wine too? Maybe anybody installed it succesfully?

just a thought on xcdroast: althought it's a great program, it's far from the ideal for a distro like this imho. There ara many more windowish progs for that, like koncd, cdbakeoveb, gtoaster etc. All of them would be more comfortable for (ex:)win users imho.

Eugiena: it's offtopic here, but i'll really miss your articles here. You've done a great work here, hope you'll find your hapiness in whatever you'll do in the future. You know, you'll always be wellcome here!

bye, hirisov
