Same here. All other Linux systems including version 1 of Xandros didn't install properly on my Toshiba 5100 or more importantly my Sony PGC R505. Version 2.0 is a dream come true. My laptop works on the LAN either with the internal Ethernet connector or the wireless adaptor made by LinkSys and SMC. The WPC 54g does not work, however. Question of drivers, I think.
When you install Xandros on a system opersating Windows XP or other, it installs with an automatic dual boot menu. Once installed the Xandros o/s is default, but you can change that in the Xandros Control menu, making Windows primary. Very simple and straight forward. The thing I loke most about Xandros is that it mounts all your drives and the Winidows LAN automatically. Also it very easily configures a printer that might be on the LAN. USB plug and play works flawlessly.
The Deluxe edition comes with an interface that allows you to install Office and Adobe Photoshop, and a few other programs written for Windows. I haven't tested this side out yet, but obviously for a lotta guys not being able to run certain windows programs is a negative.
Xandros is, in short, something to make Billy Boy shake in his shoes. They just don't have the marketing muscle yet. Good stuff.
