[CLUE-Tech] A linux distro that has updates

[Michael Riversong]

Yesterday i installed Xandros 2.0 on a Dell 400 mHz machine.  It is 
working very well, and i feel its price is well justified.  They have a 
web site updating service, but i haven't checked that out yet.  Given 
the way everything else has worked on it so far, i expect their service 
should be ok.

Just read the eWeek review of Xandros and they thought it was pretty 
good too, and their review of the update service was favorable.

BTW i got Xandros at Linux World in New York last week.  Went to the 
show all 3 days, and learned a lot.  Came home with a pretty good 
collection of development CDs and distributions.  Xandros definitely 
stands out above the crowd under these circumstances.
