I use Xandros, I love it.. Yeah you pay for the fancy APT-Get GUI (known
as Xandros Networks) but under the lid, it is debian, but debian made
easy... The only main thing I have noticed is that the kernel is weird,
its a unique version that xandros have patched, which in time stops me
from upgrading KDE to 3.2 without messing up my system.. However they do
have a wicked community forum at http://forums.xandros.com

I have free crossover because my company resell codeweavers.. Bonus :D
