Product Description:
Xandros Linux Desktop version 3 is the economical solution for desktop Linux users who don't require total Windows compatibility.

I have been using Redhat Linux for several years, and then switched to Xandros a month ago. What I can say is that this is the first time I could make Linux my main OS (my disk is partitioned into Linux/Windows) and use it as default bootup option. It almost runs everything I need and I rarely need to switch back to Windows.
The installation is easy and straightforward. The utilities are great and work with ease, I didn't find much complications with anything in Xandros. It comes with ... Read More

Xandros Desktop OS is simply one of the best alternatives to Windows you will ever find. I have used Xandros since the Xandros 2.0 days back in 2004 and have watched it evolve into what it is today : a seriously-viable alternative to Windows.
Xandros 3.0 has an upgraded 2.6 Linux kernel, which allows for DVD burning (the 2.4 Linux kernel was not suitable for burning DVDs). It also has an upgraded KDE, which is the standard GUI of Xandros (however if you know how to do it, you can use apt ... Read More

I'm one of those that want to get away from "anything Microsoft" and after reading about all the Linux distros bought the Xandros version.
The install was very easy but it wouldn't recognize my second hard drive and I was unable to figure out how to get it to do so.
In additon I found general tasks not intuitive at all and nowhere near as good as Windows: this is one thing that MS does well.
Another thing I found to be annoying and unnecessary are all the windows that pop up asking ... Read More

I have always considered myself a computer geek. However, when it comes to Linux, I just can't comprehend much. Xandros is the only Linux that I have tried that is easy to install and configure. I tried Ubuntu and with one computer the monitor was a bunch of garble and on the other computer I could not figure out how to hook up the wireless internet connection (I read a lot of forums online and just got a headache looking at them.) With Xandros, the partitioning and dual boot setup is easy, I configured ... Read More

If you don't have any Linux experience or knowledge and want an EASY transition...Xandros 3.0 is the way to go.
I disagree with the previous review of 3 stars. This is not a limited version. Upgrades can be done. If your a heavy, Linux geek, you would not use Xandros anyway! But if your a home user looking for a quick, affordable and VERY FRIENDLY product...go with Xandros.
Xandros has made the specific effort of trying to be just like Windows XP using the Linux kernel. It succeeds! ... Read More
