Here is a copy of a message I sent to Xandros support:
At this point, I think I will say aloha to Xandros; as you know, aloha
means many things, in this case means goodbye. After all the
difficulties I had, trying to make it work in my newest machine, I went
back and installed it in my old K-6, the machine I sort of learned Linux
on. The machine had been running mandrake 9 very happily. This is the
same machine that many months ago I installed Corel OS/2 (download)
which worked like a dream except for inability to get sound working. I
am surprised and amazed that starting with Corel OS/2 which worked
almost perfectly, Xandros does not seem to work very well. It installed
fairly well, found my network card, had difficulty with DHCP, could not
find a DNS which I had to enter manually, in contrast to Corel.
RealPlayer came up, froze, did not work, would not close unless I
rebooted. Same thing for XM MS. I tried to install WordPerfect 8 for
Linux, was amazed that you had not supplied the proper support files
which would not have been much of an effort. I tried to install the
Napster client from the Internet, downloaded the .deb file and was
completely mystified by your install process. I will not return the
product, will not ask for a refund, because I believe in supporting the
overall Linux effort and wish you well in your future versions. Good luck.
