Xandros gives away desktop Linux (CNET)
June 9, 2004
By Stephen Shankland
Xandros, a start-up focused on desktop Linux, has begun offering a
stripped-down but free version of its product.
The New York City-based company on Wednesday released the Open
Circulation Edition. This desktop version of the Linux operating system
resembles the company's regular products but it is free, is restricted
to personal use and lacks some features.
The free version, for example, doesn't have e-mail support, an
instruction manual, the fastest CD-writing speeds or the CodeWeavers
software for running Windows programs on a Linux machine, Xandros said.
It also comes with a version of Opera's Web browser that's advertising
supported.
