It's like calling Ubuntu Debian, maybe even "Debian for Human Beings". It seems as though Asustek never named their derivatives or at least the UI (think about Mezzo + Ubuntu = Symphony OS). Hi, Steven,

I’m still not sure how fair it would be to call it Xandros. It’s like calling Ubuntu Debian, maybe even “Debian for Human Beings”. It seems as though Asustek never named their derivatives or at least the UI (think about Mezzo + Ubuntu = Symphony OS).

That said, I do recommend Xandros for Windows users wanting to put a toe into Linux. I've found it to be the most Windows-like of the distributions. Your usage may vary.
