Well, I've got experience with Xandros, but not on Walmart PCs. It's a good distro in general - makes lots of things nice and easy. My biggest qualm with it was that it had it's own peculiar method of automagically setting up devices that was hard to interfere with. For the most part of course, it just works, but I had some odd hardware that didn't play nice at first, and it took a lot of tooling around to figure out how to work around it. On the plus side, there's a strong community of people trying to help out in the Xandros support forums and they were watched by Xandros support people chiming in to help often. I haven't had to reinstall my desktop in years, but were I to try, I'd at least consider Xandros. I think I'm more likely to get along with Kubuntu or Mepis, but they're all good-looking, simple-to-setup, Debian-ish desktops that seem well supported. -N _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
