I bought Xandros back in October, 2003. It is now my favorite distribution. The install took less than 30 minutes and it recognized all my current hardware. Also, it runs Microsoft Word seemlessly. I can't wait to try Knoppix 3.4 since I heard it has 3D-Desktop alreadied installed. I saw 3D-Desktop demonstrated on The Screensavers (TechTv) and it was awesome! It makes your computer feel like an Apple G5!
