A First Look At The Xandros Desktop

Gentu writes "OSNews has an exclusive article regarding the awaited Xandros Desktop. Xandros is the company who purchased the Corel Linux source code and rights, so in essense, this is the second generation of the once promising, Corel's Linux. OSNews previews beta 3b and they say that this distribution, along with Lycoris, Lindows (and possibly Red Hat 8), is the one to compete for the purely-for-the-desktop Linux market."

Am I missing something? I don't want to start a stupid flamewar..."my distro is better than yours!", but I didn't read anything in that article that Mandrake doesn't do at least as well, and usually better. Not to mention that 9.0 is right around the corner....I am a full time grad student and researcher...have been Windows free for years...and when I get home at night I just want my distro to work, be highly customizable, and not have to dick with config files....and the only thing I have seen that rivals Mandrake on the desktop for that is the latest Redhat....and I don't like the direction they are taking with the bastardized Gnome/KDE....good for the masses but not for me.....who is this author that he is already proclaiming this Xandros to be a top competitor for the desktop.....?

don't mod me down too much...:-)
cheers,
