Mad Penguin has posted a review on Xandros Open Circulation Editon
Xandros Desktop Open Circulation Edition , the version we are reviewing at Mad Penguin, is somewhat different from the regular Xandros Desktop. The Open Circulation Edition is free to copy and distribute as you like, but is strictly for non-commercial use. CD burning is limited to the minimum speed of your burner which, if you are in a hurry, is a really painful lock. There are ads installed on the Opera web browser and e-mail client as well, which isn't really a problem when you can easily install other browsers. One of the major downsides to compatibilty, however, is that the open version of Xandros does not contain CodeWeaver's CrossOver Office (reviewed by me here ). This means that Microsoft Windows programs (and plugins) will not work. The downfalls of working with the free edition... perhaps Xandros will give Mad Penguin a copy of the standard version to review next time they release an upgrade, so we can get a true idea of how good their desktop is.Read more
