Xandros looks very nice, but it also seems a bit pricey.  One of the things 
linux has going for it IMO is cost effectiveness.  I noticed that the desktop 
version was 99 dollars, I didn't bother to check how much they wanted for the 
server product.

I'll stick with gentoo for now.  Dont' get me wrong, I do think that what 
xandros has done is great.  I've noticed that with lots of linux distros, the 
life cycle of a product is shorter than their competition in Redmond, which is 
not a good thing, not when you're charging money for it at least.

I'll just stick with burning gentoo cd's and donating money when I get the 
chance.
