Re: [luau] Xandros

From what I know, Xandors doesn't run ICEwm as Wayne told me it doesn't 
even have Gnome.  So my belief is that it may be good, but in a very 
limited way.  I prefer a system that has lots of flexibility and one 
that's very easy to use.  I think Mandrake is about the best out there 
right now, but I used to love my Libranet too.  I haven't really tried 
that latest Libranet.  I' m not going to spend $100.00 to try Xandros 
and then find out that it has no way of booting into ICE which is 
actually the quickest,  slickest,  most easily configurable windowing 
system.  Libranet uses ICE as it's standard "Libranet Desktop 
Environment."  Mandrake includes ICE as an option.

I notice that Xandros is out. Has anybody tried it. I remember Corel 
was the slickest OS; I might have stayed with it if I could have 
gotten sound. Is Xandros proprietary? Would that make one a traitor to 
open source?
