At tomorrows WestSide meeting we plan to explore the ease and simplicity
(newbie friendliness) of Xandros 3.0 desktop OS.
Xandros has created a desktop solution that combines the best of open source
technologies with a corporate attention to completeness, usability, and
support. Version 1 of the Desktop product was based on the award winning
Corel LINUX OS and represents the next step in the evolution of the Corel
desktop. Based in Ottawa, the Xandros team includes the world-renowned
developers and architects of the award winning Corel LINUX OS. Xandros has
inherited a sizeable user base from Corel LINUX OS from which it is
significantly expanding its market presence. Xandros is currently developing
its direct and indirect distribution channels for corporate, government,
home, and educational users world wide. Xandros has established a world
class technical support team. Xandros is also developing an extensive
professional services presence to enhance its capabilities to support
relationships with larger clients and partners. -

Xandros is without a doubt the easiest (newbie friendly) distro I've found
so far. But then, I'm a newbie.
Further, "good Lord willing and the creek don't rise" (read - time
permitting and we want to), we can blow Xandros away and install UBUNTU 5.1
to see what it looks like.
