Xandros Releases Version 3

Posted by timothy on from the more-choices-always-good dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Looks like Xandros has decided its consumer product line can ride a little closer to the bleeding edge. They've just announced the release of version 3 of their consumer desktop products. It's a 2.6.9 kernel, x.org 6.7, KDE 3.3, CrossOver 4.1 (deluxe only) and synced up with the latest Debian Sarge. They've added in a firewall wizard, encrypted home folders and a PPTP VPN and other new stuff. Only the Deluxe and Standard versions are available. Business edition is due next year and I couldn't find a date for release of their Open Circulation edition. With Xandros's reputation for making desktop Linux easy, this should move a few more people one step closer to a Win-free world."

    Judging from the complete lack of comments on this story, one can assume that the world, including the irrational /. community has finally gotten smart about Linux and realized it's complete uselessness in the real world. Not to mention the fact that Linux in any and every incarnation sucks SERIOUS ass. Thank you for buying Microsoft and supporting a real operating system!
