Xandros Desktop OS 3 Deluxe Edition Reviewed

Posted by michael on from the works-for-me dept.

JimLynch writes "The new Xandros is out and we've got a review up on ExtremeTech. With the exception of some burps with our wireless card, we had a great time with this distro. Highly recommended if you're in the market for a replacement for Windows."

    I need a break from the linux tax. Yeah, you know the one -- the one that makes you pour hundreds and hundreds of wasted man-hours into using poorly written programs with little or no documentation. What can you expect from spaghetti code written by hobbyists and students? I'll happily give my money to the professionals any day, no matter what News for Nerds declares. Honestly, I know most of you agree with me!

  5. 199.98 ? Are they high ? by budword · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I did read the F**king article, then went to their site. 200 bucks for something you can get 99% of free ? Who would do that ? Not me, and I've bought two versions of Mandrake and one of SUSE. They are not in their right minds. 2 cents less than 200 ? What are they thinking ? 199.99 might be too much ?
