[Sussex] Xandros

[Angelo Servini]

A few days ago I ordered Xandros from the States via their website.  I was
impressed by the speedy response - it arrived literally a day and a half
later!

Over the weekend I installed Xandros on my PC.  I was again impressed by the
relatively painless way in which it installs and mounts all the partitions
available.   As a Windows user, I like the 'Explorer Like' representation of
files and drives by the windowed file manager.   Also from my standpoint,
automatic mounting of drives is a good feature.

One hiccup has occured however, it put a reference to Red Hat in the boot
menu (which does not work, since I opted for an overwrite of Red Hat)

I also think that the help system is a bit lightweight and could contain a
lot more info for newbies.  Rerence to commands like UPDATE is a bit vague
and does not tell the user where to run the command from.  I had to hunt
around KDE's menu system to find it.
