Xandros Open Circulation Edition Released

An anonymous reader writes "Looks like those ex-Corel Linux folks over at Xandros have finally got around to making Version 3 of their free (as in beer) distro available for download. All updated stuff under the hood, including a sync with the latest Debian Sarge. Free downloads through Xandros Networks and a good selection of default applications makes this a very desirable alternative to Linspire. It's no-cost to download using BitTorrent, but if you want the instant gratification route of http download, you can pay for that."

Re:Solitaire on the install by Max+von+H. · 2005-02-14 07:35 · Score: 2, Interesting

Caldera had Tetris available for play during the install... Gotta say that was sweet! Nowadays it's so quick to install Linux, especially if you use someting like Mepis or Knoppix to install, like 3 to 5 minutes tops on a good system... no need for mid-flight entertainment.

I'd actually get rather pissed to have a perfectly valid tetris game interrupted by some mundane "Installation Finished" message.
