Xandros is the old, updated Corel Linux Code. It is probably the easiest
install, a couple of clicks if you want to give it your hard drive.
Xandros was designed to drop into a Windows network & just work,
networking, samba, the deluxe version comes with Code Weavers wine for
running MS Office apps. It is based o Debain Testing so you have
additional packages there to use but Xandros enhanced KDE to fit its
needs. A nice piece of work really, there will be incompatibilities with
regualr KDE though.
