		Although I agree with some of their conclusions, I do not agree with their final one: "Ultimately, we decided we weren't ready for the long, uphill struggle that migrating to a new desktop OS would entail." GCN mistook a mild bump in the road for a hill.
		Xandros has many things going for it, including stability and a dedicated development team.
		You also may consider the Xandros desktop to be suitable for use by people wanting a modern and trouble-free Linux system.

	Review of Xandros Desktop 1.0 - OSNews.com
		The first release from Xandros Inc., Xandros Desktop 1.0, is the descendent of the excellent Corel Linux (Corel 2.0?).
		Xandros belongs to a specific sub-group of Linux distros; these aren't just trying to be approachable to Windows users, but to actually mimic it as closely as possible.
		Xandros has only a few steps on the front end and has left other options either to default configuration and or for the user to set up after the installation.

		Xandros SurfSide Linux reclaims the joy and excitement of using the net, connecting with friends, and having instant information at your fingertips.
		Xandros Surfside Linux is a nice distro, however there are other versions of Xandros out there which not only are much better values, but are also more functional.
		The main selling point of Xandros Surfside Linux is that it includes free Skype minutes (which is used for computer-to-telephone [landline and cellphone] calls) and a USB headset (headphones and a microphone).

	LinuxPlanet - Reviews - Xandros Desktop--Not Your Father's Linux Distribution - From Corel to Xandros
		Xandros purchased an exclusive license to Corel's Linux distribution in the summer of 2001, with the goal of producing a true desktop Linux distribution.
		The Xandros Linux distribution, known as Xandros Desktop, is based on the Debian Linux distribution, which is a relative rarity for a large-scale commercial Linux distribution.
		Xandros Linux may just be Debian's break-through opportunity--especially due to Xandros' obvious commitment to the desktop and the end-user's needs and satisfaction.

	Interview: Xandros and KDE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Xandros Desktop OS is known for their intuitive graphical environment that works right out of the box.
		And Xandros not only provides a great OS but also the critical applications so there is no need to add third-party application costs either.
		Xandros tech support has been less than helpful, replying after three days to my email, and asking for my display adapter model, then never getting back to me with any answers.

	Xandros 4: relief for Windows 98/ME orphans
		Xandros 4 is the latest in a long series of Linux desktops dating back to Corel's 1999 Linux desktop.
		Xandros, unlike all the other distributions I tried recently -- MEPIS 6, OpenSUSE 10,1, and SUSE Enterprise Linux Desktop 10 -- immediately found and set up the WiFi card without any need for me to lift a finger.
		As I sit here and look at Xandros, I must say that while it's not the most impressive Linux distribution I've ever seen, it really is, by a wide margin, the best Linux desktop to start Windows users on.

	Xandros debuts a Linux-based replacement for Windows Small Business Server

	Xandros Linux conquers a hostile Sony laptop \| The Register (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Xandros file manager has been designed to look and feel like Windows Explorer, and this is fine; but I wish Konqueror were included in the start menu so that users could find it easily and experiment with it.
		Still, the Xandros file manager handles a number of tasks, including compression and archiving, FTP, CD creation, and file sharing between Windows and *nix networks.
		It's ridiculous for Xandros to remind people of the horrors they've just escaped by switching to Linux; I say, let them enjoy their computers for a change, instead of worrying about them constantly.

	Xandros: This is My Wife’s Linux
		Fortunately Xandros gives the option to write its LILO boot to the partition rather than the Master Boot Record, because I’m using GRUB under Red Hat for the boot manager.
		(Yes, Xandros deduced automatically that I had a separate boot partition for Red Hat.) This of course will be ideal for my wife, who will want to keep her old Windows hard drive installed and access it from Linux.
		But the integration with Xandros is excellent, and because it’s included by default, the installation is trivial.

	Xandros aims to be commercial Debian distro of choice - Computer Business Review
		Linux vendor Xandros Inc is lining up new business desktop and server releases for the coming months as it looks to establish itself as the Debian distribution of choice for the enterprise.
		Xandros was born via the acquisition of Corel Corp's Linux assets in August 2001, and has maintained the consumer Home Edition products.
		After a long delay, Xandros finally entered the Linux server market in May with the release of Xandros Server Standard Edition, targeted primarily at small-to-medium businesses, which for Xandros means those with five to 500 employees.

		There are multiple versions of the OS available, including a Xandros Open Circulation Edition (OCE), a freely downloadable for home users (not to be mistaken with free as in freedom).
		In case of Xandros, the user pays money for a distribution "that just works" instead of spending his or her time "getting it to work".
		Xandros has always provided, later in the release cycle, an Open Community Edition (OCE), which does not include the commercial applications (like Crossover Office, NTFS write support and more) and is free as in beer.

	Review: Xandros Desktop 4.0 - OSNews.com
		Xandros Networks is fairly limited, as the amount of applications is small.
		Xandros 4 is a difficult distribution to form an opinion about, simply because it is so contradictory in nature.
		Is your grandmother still running Windows 9x/ME? If so, Xandros 4 might be a perfect choice, as it gives them a solid Linux distribution, which will play nice with all their Windows files and even programs (through Crossover Office).

	Xandros announces a business server for the next wave \| TUX
		The Xandros Server attempts to bring to small and medium sized businesses (SMB) the same ease of use and philosophy that Xandros has previously used for making one of the simplest and easy to use Linux desktop distributions.
		According to sources at Xandros, the Xandros Server, is a seamless replacement for any file, print, or groupware server for enterprises and SMBs that also cuts workload management by 30 percent through the automation of administrative tasks.
		However, Xandros would be wise to factor into their marketing one of the key lessons, we in the information technology industry consistently forget.

		For example, Xandros is the only Linux distribution I've ever used that can connect to a printer on a Windows network the first time, every time.
		Xandros Networks should probably be called the Xandros Software Manager; it's really what Linux types call a "package manager," with a very spiffy user interface.
		All of this is very sweet stuff, and after seeing how well Xandros Desktop 2.0 plays with Windows networks, I am not surprised that Xandros is choosing to focus on the corporate market with its new offerings.
