Customer Reviews:
Fantastic!, 2008-05-03 After evaluating many Linux distributions for my employer and for use at home, this is the only one that I found to be user friendly enough to recommend. A critical area for home dialup users is the modem issue. Many distributions require you to find and download drivers, as well as executing difficult (for the average user) command line routines. Not so with Xandros. It doesn't support every modem, but I had no trouble with it recognizing a 3Com external, and a number of PCI internals. Setting these up was extremely simple. I believe a novice would have no trouble whatsoever.
As for the business environment, recognizing and communicating with an existing Windows network was the downfall of every Linux distribution I tried except this one. Even the highly regarded Fedora/Redhat flunked.
I've converted almost entirely to Linux with this distribution, both at work and at home. I'm now in the process of converting some of our other employee's desktops also.
