Reviews: Xandros Business Desktop 3.0 |
|
Mad Penguin has taken a thorough look at the brand new Xandros Business Desktop 3.0, released last week: "How many distributions available today have the functionality it takes to be a part of a full-fledged Windows domain? The answer is simple: One. Xandros understands this growing requirement and has been developing around it for quite some time now. As a matter of fact, Xandros stands as the only Linux distributor that seems to make it their primary goal. Others may claim that they are providing the ideal Windows-friendly distribution, but until they can show me a simple way to join a domain (Windows NT legacy and Active Directory), connect to network drives and have the choice to make them persistent over reboots, connect to shared printers, and manage users... I will never consider them ready." Read the rest of the review with screenshots.

Reviews: Xandros Desktop OS 3 OCE |
|
India's Techtree has reviewed the free edition of Xandros Desktop OS 3. Their conclusion? "Linux is not ready": "Everything in Xandros on the surface worked so well - browsing the web, checking email, playing music and movies... But when you try to install new applications, you get screwed. Frustrated. And you want to boot back into Windows. Yes, there is Xandros Networks - the online software repository for stuff that's tweaked and tried and tested to work with Xandros, but obviously they won't let you download a CD burning tool that bypasses the 4X limitation that they put in the first place... Xandros is good, but it's not ready. But that's not Xandros' fault. Linux is not ready." The 3-page review with screenshots starts here.

Xandros Desktop OS 3 Is a Windows XP Replacement |
|
DesktopOS has published a review of Xandros Desktop OS 3: "The desktop environment is a Xandros enhanced KDE version 3.3. It has most of the features that everyday users would come to expect from a modern operating system such as Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Plus XP, & Office XP. The Xandros development team has customized KDE to make things more user-friendly. Software like XMMS, Xine, OpenOffice.org 1.1, and Mozilla web browser 1.7 are included and have been customized also. The Xandros visual appearance has improved dramatically in version 3.0 to be more much attractive then it was in version 2.x. In saying that at least Xandros make the effort to customize the desktop, which is more then many other Linux desktop organizations do." Read the rest of the review here.
