Pardon me for 'top-posting' but I'm not really replying to the below, more commenting on Xandros in general. That Xandros does (or should) have "better" support for Windows is no surprise, given that they are one of the developer communities that were scared enough of M$ threatened patent litigation that they went and cut a deal with the Devil Gates. As charmingly depicted in this webcomic: http://www.bunnydogproductions.com/node/52
Linspire is another, as I recall. Step one of "embrace, enhance, eradicate" complete. If Xandros doesn't have superb Windows support, they submitted in vain and are getting shafted in the bargain. No surprises if so, given M$'s track record. Not that I've EVER had any problem interacting with my laptop's WinXP/NTFS partition from within ANY distro with a kernel more recent than 2.6.21! And Samba is Samba in pretty much ANY distro as well, for Windows Networking. You don't need Xandros or Linspire specifically for that. Unless you want to run Windows programs, that's the province of the WINE emulator, rather than the distribution itself. --- In [email protected], Carlos Alberto Pinto Peixoto Bastos Santos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well, I think that Linspire has much better support for Windows files > (although not for Windows networking). > And also, read what DistroWatch wrote about the new release 4 of > Xandros, and specially the comments on it: > > <http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20060626#firstlook> > > ========================================== > Carlos Alberto Pinto Peixoto Bastos Santos {snip} > **** Linux Registered user: 339936 **** > ========================================== > > On 28/06/2006, at 04:05, Jeanette Russo wrote: > > > I have not tried it.
