I've known a few people that have purchased them. (These were with Mandrake or Lindows; I haven't used/seen Xandros.) When I ripped a couple apart, I wasn't really impressed. But let's face it, they're "cheap" computers. With that said, they work and no one I know has had any problems with them. IMHO, the worst aspect of them is the fact that they're from Wal-Mart (insert disclaimer about union-busting, hyper-exploitation of workers, etc., here). To me, the standard caveats of buying a GNU/Linux computer apply: Do not short-change yourself on RAM. Quantity for hardware are #1 - RAM, #2 - CPU, and #3 - HD space. Regards, .
