Xandros Desktop outstanding Value. |
I have used a number of other Linux distro's over the years.
But this Version of Xandros Desktop Home Edition Basic.
IS THE BEST YET...
While they offer you an activation code to use that is limited to 10 times before calling in to be issued a new one.
Is NO Big Deal, to an honest user.
While I've read one review here saying they seen nothing Mentioned of this on the Xandros Website, must not have looked to much, Because I found it easy, IT's there you just have too read a little.
Xandros just like like all other Linux distro's does not require you to Activate it in order to be able to use it.
Only if you want the ease of One Click downloads.
Using their Servers, Which to me is more then understandable.
You have the option to link into the unsupported debian repo's and install from there.
And use their Expert install mode.
Which as long as you know the Name of the App your looking for it's still One Click Easy.
Just Click on the Programs you want name and it installs that as well as it's dependecies.
And one final Cudo for Xandros is their Updating Tool.
Simple and easy to use, as well as easy to Config.
You don't even need to have your OS Activated for it to work.
Unlike another Linux distro I used that required you to be a Club Member at $122.00 a year to use the Auto Update notification feature of their OS.
It had to be done Manually if you weren't a member of their Club.
All in all a Fantastic and The Most eaisest to use Linux OS on the Planet.
I GIVE IT 3 Thumbs Up...

An Outstanding Windows Alternative |
After using (and abusing) Xandros v3.02 for over a year and watching Windows try to plug their "security flaws" for eons before that, I decided to do the upgrade to Xandros Home Edition.
If you're looking for an exceptional ALTERNATIVE to Windows XP (and beyond), look no further. Just be aware that Xandros is NOT Windows and never will be. It's much more secure and stable than Windows can ever hope to be.
Installation was a snap. Just insert the CD and reboot. Five or six mouse-clicks later, you're in business. I did, however, back up everything I didn't want to lose -- just in case -- and it paid off. I didn't lose a byte of my stuff.
Xandros Home came with the latest & greatest open source software including FireFox 1.5, Thunderbird 1.5 and OpenOffice 2.0.
If you're coming over from a Windows environment, chances are you won't notice much difference between this distribution of Linux and Windows. That is, of course, until you notice there are any virii, trojan, etc. and you have to try pretty hard to crash your system. The big difference is installing software. It's not as easy as Windows so expect to jump through a couple of hoops.
Support comes from two sources: Xandros Tech Support or a VERY active, friendly and highly-knowledgeable forum bunch. Normally, the folks at the Xandros forum will get back with a solution or answer to any issue you can think of (and some you never imagined!) within a matter of hours.. sometimes minutes! And, you are NEVER talked down to because you're a "newbie" with Linux/Xandros. They can be found at http://forums.xandros.com
Xandros can be "dual-booted" if you're already running a version of Windows so you can have both operating systems on the same computer until you realize that Xandros is just a much better OS.
Bear in mind -- Xandros is NOT a replacement for Windows -- though it can be. It is an ALTERNATIVE. And, at the cost it's a very inexpensive alternative.
If you're tired of Windows loading their "upgrades" onto your computer and tired of trojans, virii, pop-unders, and all the nasty stuff that takes the fun out your web surfing, perhaps it's time for you to take a serious look at Xandros. |
