I downloaded Xandros Open Circulation edition in the weekend
** I got it off an A.P.C magazine CD
It was an absolutely painless installation ... including repartitioning of Win2k.
** Agreed
Everything just worked. Even in the Xandros File Manager there were icons to browse Windows and NFS networks and the "C" drive (ntfs).
** And "burn to CD": (1) music, (2) data, (3) erase, (4) copy, (5) show existing CD projects waiting to burn
I think it is worth considering for our Installfest although Mandrake 10 is more up to date (2.6 kernel and KDE 3.2)
** It's slower than Mandrake 9.2. (450 Pentium and 384 Mb)
StarOffice7 takes 18 seconds to load instead instead of 5. Okay, I usually have StarOffice open all the time. But simply to switch screens takes 3 to 5 seconds. Just for that reason I'll try Mandrake 10, which I remember more and more fondly.
Unless there's a man page I don't know about? (I followed a recent thread without success)
