Re: I hate Linux



If you're going to setup this machine to be as easy as possible for
X-Windows users, or perhaps to help them migrate, you can't beat the
Xandros distro!

It comes with Crossover Office and Plugin on the Deluxe version, for
only $89. If you were to buy those separately, they run $59.00 and $29
respectively, so your price is right there. With this version, you get
them and the rest of the OS (debian based) plus the easy to use Xandros
Networks tool for updates.

They've done such a nice job with this distro for the
"clicky-clicky-users" that it will find the windows networks around you
automagically, as well as automagically start Crossover Office when you
insert a "windows autorun" CD... :) hehe...

Seriously, it's a very nice distro, and would do the regular user just
fine.
