Linux desktop vendors Xandros and Linspire (also known as Lindows) are offering more desktop software for less, and, in the case of Xandros, for nothing.
Xandros is giving away a version of its Linux Desktop Operating System for free.
The free version is called Open Circulation Edition and can be downloaded from the Xandros Web site without cost. The version, intended for non-commercial use, is loaded with the same features as its shrink-wrapped editions, with a few exceptions.
Users will have access to Xandros user forums and free software updates, though there is no included documentation or e-mail support. The CD-burning application is limited to the minimum burn speed of the user's CD burner. The included Opera browser is a version that is ad supported.
The Open Circulation Edition also does not include an integrated CodeWeavers Cross Over Office application and plug-in that would allow users to run Windows applications directly on the Xandros desktop, which many users call the single greatest feature of the paid Xandros distribution.
