I gave Xandros 3 a go the other day....hmmmm, now they have improved
since I was a beta tester for them. Everything just worked. I have
to say that if anybody asks for a recommended Linux distro for a
newcomer (or somebody wanting to swap from Microsoft) I will have to
push them towards Xandros. I still prefer my SuSE but this was very
nice....especially watching a DVD film without having to faff about
:-)
Shallow? Of course, I don't care, sorry.
