I downloaded Xandros Open Circulation edition in the weekend and after reading The Press this morning I decided to give it a try.
It was an absolutely painless installation onto a Toshiba TE2000 laptop, including repartitioning of Win2k.
Everything just worked. Even in the Xandros File Manager there were icons to browse Windows and NFS networks and the "C" drive (ntfs).
The only problem is that to install extra programmes from "Xandros Networks" you need to pay some money and upgrade. IMHO that is not a major problem because I would still see it as value for money.
Xandros is based on debian. You can just point /etc/apt/sources.list to a known repository and install away. Use synaptic if you must.

PS. LINEWRAP!!
