I have tested Xandros out. One nice feature is the ability to authenticate to an Active Directory *out of the box*. Hardware detection was good for me, though I have not tested a wide range of machines. I will be doing a trial of Xandros in a mixed environment over the next couple of months, so I would be interested to hear your experiences. > Keeping in mind that the staff know "nada" about linux, what distro > would be this transition least painful? > I looked at the Xandros web site and saw they used to be Corel > Linux--I was a developer at Stormix Tech (The publishers of Storm > Linux) and at the time they both were based on Debian... > One thing I am concerned about it the hardware detection > capabilities--meaning its ability to recognize paripherials and > such...That could save me a ton of work... > Any comments...? Linspire would be the other commercial distro that I would check out. I do not have much experience with it but I have heard good things about it. Also, I have been quite impressed with Ubuntu/Kubuntu. I have had the most success in converting windows users with ubuntu. Cheers
