Xandros Overall, Xandros Desktop OS Version 3 Business Edition has proven itself to be a fine operating system. As a long time Windows user, who is forced to use XP on a daily basis, I really appreciated Xandros' approach to Linux-Windows integration and just how easy they made the transition from one operating system to the other.

No, distrobution is an error I believe.

Color and colour are both not correct. Color is American English, Colour is British (and by extension, Australian, Canadian etc.) English. Colour is an error in the States, just like color is an error up here in Canada.

For instance, typing colour in OOo using the American dictionary results in spell check picking it up.

Oh yes! thanks for the info but I know Color is american is colour is british..I just quoted it as an example to enquire whether distrobution and distribution are also somewhat similar to the colour/color case.

Distrobution does seem like a typo but I have seen it a few times before too and so I thought i would enquire...
