Sidux 2007-02 - A Review

,----[ Quote ]
| Simply put, Sidux 2007-02 was a pleasure to use. The live CD
| worked beautifully, as did the installer. The desktop is very
| dark, but this is nice to see after using so many ightdistributions.

Review: Xandros Linux 4.0 Professional

,----[ Quote ]
| Overall I consider Xandros Linux 4 Professional a less than decent Linux
| distribution, definitely nothing to write home about, and certainly nothing I
| would recommend to anyone seeking to make the switch to Linux. Especially
| with the somewhat mediocre job Xandros did with their version and the recent
| patent contract with Microsoft. I also find it ironic that while theye very
| much set on converting Windows users to Linux by the bucketful, they
| ultimately signed a patent treaty with the same company whom theye trying
| to undermine by stealing their users. A pact with the devil that sure to
| come back and haunt them some day.

For the apologists (like SJVN) who think that Microsoft wants to bring benefits
to Linux, read this:

When HASN'T Linux been at war?

| Microsoft wants Linux dead. Write it down.
|
| My opinion of anybody who purports to be pro-Linux while selling out to
| Linux's sworn enemy was already pretty low. News of Novell, Xandross,
| and now Linspire lining up to seal a deal with Redmond already crossed
| my desk, and the very best I can hope for them is that they find a
| cooler niche of Hell to go stand in.
