Scottie Pippen

He is currently working as a basketball analyst for the Chicago Bulls.
. Pippen is also famous for having pioneered the point forward position, which he popularized with his great ball-handling, passing and court vision, skills traditionally limited to point guards, in addition to his rebounding and scoring, all contributing to his dominant play for over a decade. Xandros has won awards for their products, including the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo's Best Front Office Solution, various editor's choice awards in several magazines, and the CNET Editor's Choice award. However, Pippen's effectiveness was drastically limited by injuries, and he retired prior to the 2004–05 season on October 5, 2004. The package includes several other themes including KDE, Mac OS 9, and Unix. In the summer of 2003, new Bulls General Manager and former Pippen teammate John Paxson attempted to change the fortunes of the rebuilding Bulls by bringing Scottie back to Chicago. The KDE interface has been modified to resemble Microsoft Windows, with a rectangular "launch" button similar to the Windows Start button, modified context menus, and a file manager with a Windows 98 appearance.

Pippen was a consummate playoff performer, reaching the playoffs an amazing 16 straight years (11 with Chicago, 1 with Houston, 4 with Portland) and played in more playoff games than anyone but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Installation of Xandros is done by a wizard that asks questions about partitioning and the administrator (root) password. He was traded in the offseason to the Portland Trail Blazers, who he led to the Western Conference finals, where they lost to the eventual champion, the Los Angeles Lakers, in seven games. It also uses a package manager known as Xandros Networks, which handles installation of software. In Houston, he teamed with Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley to form one of the best front lines in NBA history, but the squad lacked chemistry. The Xandros GUI uses a modified version of the K Desktop Environment (KDE), which includes replacing Konqueror with its own proprietary file manager called XFM. After playing in Chicago for 11 seasons, his tumultuous relationship with General Manager Jerry Krause came to a head, and the second alltime leader in points, assists, and steals in Chicago's history was traded to the Houston Rockets for the lockout-shortened season in 1998–99. It easily sets up repositories as it deploys customized Xandros Desktop configurations across a large organization.

For his efforts, he earned the second of three straight All-NBA First Team nods, and he was a strong candidate for MVP. Xandros Desktop Mangement Server or xDMS is already available. He had perhaps his best season, leading the Bulls in scoring, rebounding, assists, and the entire league in steals, averaging 21.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.9 steals per game. It is expected to ship by the end of the year 2005. That year, he earned All-Star Game MVP honors. The server works with Linux and Windows environments. The 1993–94 season marked Pippen's coming out party, when he stepped out from Jordan's shadow and became known as one of the best players in the league. The current beta test of Xandros Small Business Server or xSBS already runs both Apache and Samba servers.

In 1992, he was named to the original Dream Team which competed in the Olympics in Barcelona. For more information on the different editions, please see the external link "Xandros Desktop Matrix". Pippen became known for stellar defense in addition to his consistent scoring, earning several NBA All-Defensive Team nods, including several on the first team. The web browser Mozilla Firefox and the email client Mozilla Thunderbird are included. Pippen was selected as one of the NBA's Fifty Greatest Players when the league was celebrating its fiftieth season in 1996. Unlike the other editions, there is no e-mail support or user guide (Deluxe and Business editions only). He helped lead the Bulls to six NBA Championships (1990–91, 1991–92, 1992–93, 1995–96, 1996–97, and 1997–98). This has a limited set of additional software; for example, in Xandros File Manager, CD burning speed is limited to the minimum burning speed of the CD drive (usually 4x speed) only, and it only comes with a 30-day trial of CrossOver Office instead of the full version included in the deluxe and business editions.

In 1991, he continued to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with, undoubtedly the Bulls' second best offensive and defensive player after Jordan. Finally, Xandros Open Circulation Edition is a freely redistributable edition for non-commercial use. Pippen continued to improve, helping the Bulls to the Conference Finals the following year as well as 1990, when he earned his first NBA All-Star Game berth. This version also includes CrossOver Office for running applications designed for Microsoft Windows and comes with a user manual and 90 days of free e-mail support. Still, Pippen claimed the starting small forward position during the 1988 playoffs with his stellar play, helping the Michael Jordan-led Bulls reach the Eastern Conference semi-finals for the first time in over a decade. There also tools for the administration and deployment of Xandros desktops within a company or institution. Pippen immediately became part of Chicago's young forward tandem with 6'10" (2.08 m) power forward Horace Grant, though both came off the bench to back up Brad Sellers and Charles Oakley, respectively, during their rookie seasons. Xandros Business Desktop is more expensive but includes support for Active Directory, and advanced microprocessor features like SMP and Hyperthreading.

The 6'7" (2.02 m) small forward was drafted 5th overall in the 1987 NBA draft by the Seattle SuperSonics, who immediately traded him to the Chicago Bulls for the 8th pick, 7-foot (2.13 m) center Olden Polynice. Surfside Linux also includes a USB headset for communications and gaming. He grew up in Arkansas, where he attended college at Central Arkansas. Alternatively, Surfside Linux comes with a user manual, 30 days of free e-mail support, and bundles a wide array of Internet software including several versions of Skype.
