Making the big move

[efc]

I had to feel comfortable with the Distro. After trying many other distros, I kept coming back to XandrOS because I didn't have to research everything that I wanted to do and I didn't have to learn how to do everything by command line.

I have been using the Open Circulation of XandrOS v. 3.0 (free download) for about 6 months. It is fully functional. It will accomplish most computer tasks. This version contains Cross Over which allows you to use many Windows programs. I haven't tried Cross Over because it is my goal to quit being dependent on Microsoft software to do anything.

The current version is 4.0.




Notice that security suite, anti-virus, and firewall are included in the premium edition. Also note the additional application cd. These applications can be installed on your desktop using XandrOS Networks. XandrOS Networks is a module that provides easy installation of many applications. No command line needed.

Link to XandrOS products. Purchase of the XandrOS Home Premium Edition is $79.00 at the official site. It is available for less from vendors. Be careful. XandrOS v. 4.0 requires an activation code. Some of the super cheap prices that can be found on the net probably don't include the activation code. Make sure that you buy a full retail package.

Other distrobutions that I have tried:
Fedora
Suse
Ubuntu
Kubuntu
Gentoo
Santa Fe
Simply/Misep
Linspire
Freespire
Mandriva
and several live versions
