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."

    Previous versions of Xandros (2.0 specifically) are extremely stable and solid for me. The forums were always helpful to a complete n00b, and I'm proud to say I've been Windows-free since I've installed Xandros 2.0.

  3. Re:Desktop is not usable until fonts are sharp by DrJimbo · · Score: 5, Informative
    I run Linux on a laptop with a 1600x1200 15" LCD screen and a 1600x1200 21" external LCD monitor. I use the Bitstream Vera Fonts for almost everything. They are available here. They are as sharp as sharp can be. I've been using them for over a year and I am still thrilled by how crisp they make everything look. I do have anti-aliasing turned on to remove the jaggies but there is not even a hint of bluring.

    Next problem?
