Have you actually tried Xandros? I was one of the unfortunates who 
purchased XD 2.0 Deluxe and I can tell you I'll never make that mistake 
again, its got more bugs in it then an ant hill and some of the software 
is so old rather than use a version number you have to get it carbon 
dated. The software installer is also terrible most of the time you 
can't install anything because some one of two of the packages you've 
selected are dead or they're all dead. There are better alternatives to 
Xandros, if you're really crazy enough to try Xandros make sure you've 
tried Mandrake, SUSE, Fedora, Lycoris and Linspire first since those are 
much better options. If you're looking for something user friendly then 
Lycoris is what you're looking for, although it costs an arm and a leg 
its much better than Xandros.
