| | Xandros Networks covers everything to do with software on the system, it is the place to go for installing new software from the Internet, or from RPM or DEB files you have obtained, updating currently installed software, or removing currently installed software. | | | The title of the review is “Xandros Desktop OS 3 is a Windows XP replacement” because I feel this comment could be true for well over 90% of general computer users (probably like you.) This is coming from someone who works in tech support and deals with the general public and their computer issues. | | | After several months of testing and using the Xandros Desktop OS 3.0 Deluxe on my home desktop computer and laptop computers, as well as testing it on some other computers I feel I’m now ready to write an informative and educational review that I hope will be a joy for all to read. |

| | Xandros is currently working on several other plug-ins that will be made available to current users through Xandros Networks. | | | Three years later, the Xandros developers are surprised to see that the open solutions are still a major barrier to entry, even though they have improved a lot in the interim. | | | I had with Ming Poon, the Xandros VP for software development, in which he explained why Xandros eschewed KDE's generic UNIX file manager in favor of a home-grown Xandros File Manager [XFM], that's tightly linked to the Linux OS. |

| | Note: 'My Linux' is the Xandros equivalent of Microsoft's 'My Computer'... | | | The installer is very similar to that of LindowsOS I think, with the added ability to choose software packages and more in-depth disk configuration choices, including the ability to resize NTFS partitions (a feature available only in the Deluxe version of the software). | | | As with most other distros, you are also blessed with Linux computing standards such as OpenOffice.org 1.1 and Mozilla 1.4 (which is currently in stable release 1.5, but this release is close enough to perfect for me). |
