Xandros today announced that Xandros Server 2.0 is the first product to be certified by the Linux Foundation through use of the LSB Distribution Testkit. Xandros engineers worked closely with their Linux Foundation counterparts in perfecting the new, automated testing procedures that will facilitate broad application developer support to Xandros Server 2.0 and all other standards-based Linux operating systems.

When I said I tried it for 2 days, those two days were 100% feature test days, were we compared it to Windows 2003 small business and standard servers.
Let me clear up what I mean:
Point 2: If the primary goes down the managed community is not "dead". All other servers/services continue to run as if nothing happened.
I didn't say anything happened to the servers or services. The managed community can not be managed with the XMC if the primary server goes down. There is no replication like in AD on Windows, ED on Novell or OD on Apple. Also you lose access to your network user database. AND If the hard drives crash then you totally loose your network user database. :-(
NOT GOOD.
Point 4: You can not access the LDAP used for the user accounts etc to use it for LDAP authentication for things like Applications, computers etc
Point 9: I said some hardware controlers are supported. "Some" I tried it on 2 Dell Servers and it did not pick up the raid controlers on ether. (Hardware raid)
For small business, software raid is popular and important. A lot of times I will sell SMB servers to customers from Dell, Gateway and Compaq that don't have hardware raid.
Any other version of Linux, Unix and Windows have it no problem.
The current Xandros server is a good start. But there is a lot of work if they want to get SMB customers like MS does with Windows Small Business server.

Interesting points 'Windows Sucks" but some of them are misleading; then again you did say you had only tried it for 2 days!!
re point 2; If the primary goes down the managed community is not "dead". All other servers/services continue to run as if nothing happened.
re point 4: Yes it does use LDAP
re point 9. Yes hardware RAID is supported.
