It is the creator of Xandros Desktop (a distribution of Linux), known for focus on business and new computer users and for being visually similar to Windows XP. Founded in 2001, the company is located in New York City and Ottawa, Ontario. Their distributions are based on Corel Linux, a Debian-based distribution which was acquired from Corel Corporation that same year after Corel decided to leave the Linux distribution market. Xandros is also a founding member of the Desktop Linux Consortium. The current edition of Xandros as of December 28, 2005, is Version 3.0 (Version 3.0.2 includes the Xandros SP2 update already installed; previous versions of Xandros 3.0 can download the SP2 updates through the Xandros Networks). Version 4.0 of Xandros is scheduled for release in early-to-mid 2006. ProductsXandros makes products for both the consumer and business markets. Workstation OSsXandros Desktop is for the home user, which is cheaper and easier to use than higher end versions. There are three editions, Standard, Deluxe and Surfside Linux. The Deluxe edition includes a user manual, 60 days of free e-mail support, and the ability to run Microsoft Windows applications with CrossOver Office. Its installer can resize NTFS partitions, and also bundles more software. 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. Surfside Linux also includes a USB headset for communications and gaming. Xandros Business Desktop is more expensive but includes support for Active Directory, and advanced microprocessor features like SMP and Hyperthreading. There also tools for the administration and deployment of Xandros desktops within a company or institution. 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. Finally, Xandros Open Circulation Edition is a freely redistributable edition for non-commercial use. 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. Unlike the other editions, there is no e-mail support or user guide (Deluxe and Business editions only). The web browser Mozilla Firefox and the email client Mozilla Thunderbird are included. For more information on the different editions, please see the external link "Xandros Desktop Matrix". Server OSsThe current beta test of Xandros Small Business Server or xSBS already runs both Apache and Samba servers. The server works with Linux and Windows environments. It is expected to ship by the end of the year 2005. Xandros Desktop Mangement Server or xDMS is already available. It easily sets up repositories as it deploys customized Xandros Desktop configurations across a large organization. Look and feelThe Xandros GUI uses a modified version of the K Desktop Environment (KDE), which includes replacing Konqueror with its own proprietary file manager called XFM. It also uses a package manager known as Xandros Networks, which handles installation of software. Installation of Xandros is done by a wizard that asks questions about partitioning and the administrator (root) password. 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. The package includes several other themes including KDE, Mac OS 9, and Unix. AwardsXandros 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.
