Xandros has spent the better part of a decade trying to take Linux to the masses and build itself up as a serious contender in the commercial Linux racket. And now, after the advent of Linux-based netbooks and an evolving new class of devices that are being dubbed smartbooks, Xandros is getting another chance at going mainstream and taking Linux with it. Even if people don't know they're using Linux.

Linux isn't bad. I think Linux gets bad press, even if that's just by word of mouth. People see it as a geek system, not for the mainstream, average consumers don't want to go outside their comfort zone, however a friend has recently found if you tell them it's an upgrade of Windows, which is called "Windows Ubuntu", and all their apps have been upgraded, they seem to take to it quite well :lol:

Xandros was the first Linux distro that i managed to get on line with many years ago and found that it was a good stable OS which for a home system would work out of the box …

Xandros is a sick joke compared to the quality of other distros.

Xandros didn't last 10 minutes on my Eee PC.
