"Well considering that it also doesn't include, Libranet, the oldest commercial Debian distribution, it loses a little legitimacy and experience in dealing with the Debian community."

Well, Xandros has been around at least as long. It's simply a continuation of the old Corel Linux distribution under a new name. It has the same engineers behind it, even (see http://www.g4tv.com/techtvvault/features/32154/Corel_Sells_Linux_Di...). Don't get me wrong - the more the merrier, of course, but Libranet is hardly a significant player.
