I haven't, but was curious about it. It's only 39.95 or 29.95 something like that. I thought about trying it out. I've been wanting to try Lindows as well. If nothing more than just because of the name they chose and how they won the stupid court case over it. Those are the distros for the run of the mill internet browsing, word document typing, email sending users. I think SuSE could fit in that Category as well, Personal and SuSE Desktop (desktop is a little expensive though).

Sometime or other, I got clued in to this distro and got curious about it. It wasn't very expensive (according to what I am used to in other areas of the computing world anyway), so I sprung for a copy. Xandros, I believe, is a mutation of the Corel Linux distribution. It has a very nice and relatively brief click-through installation. It seems to come with a decent number of what I would consider standard desktop tools (though perhaps I have not thought enough about what tools there should be available as standard and how many). There are a lot of things I couldn't do with Xandros (it is NOT really a server OS by any stretch of the imagination), but it does seem to do a halfway decent job of being a nice desktop. Anyone else ever check out this distribution? (sorry, I know it's OT for the most part, but I'm curious) K -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
