hi all,
i'm about to be a linux newbe, just got xandros desktop v 1.0. i want to install it on an old 6gb drive and check it out.
the rig is; 1gig duron, mobo ecs k7s5a, 512mb ddr ram, gf2, win xp pro.
what do you think of xandros, any tricks i should know to install it.

Seems like a good idea, but only time will tell if it can cut through the over-abundance of "easy to install/easy to use" linux distro's and emerge as a contender. Early reviews are good. They have one thing in there corner, Ming Poon, the ex head man of Corel Linux. Let us know what you think of it.

hi weaver well i installed xandros it was a peace of cake, just have to reconfigure lilo i think it ate my mbr and xandros is only a toy for now.
it reminds me of a cross between win xp and mac os 7.7.5 so lets call it macwindros ha ha . be pinging off you soon.
long live open source.

Don't ever let anything eat your mbr again...

Use dd

I'll post a new topic in the general Unix section on how to use it.
