I have not downloaded and tested the 2.0.8 version but the 2.0.3 (old version) is good.
I will be with you soon having tested the Fiesta (2.0.8).
Xandros is based from Corel Linux and is doing a good job promoting the commercial version.
(I am not sure of this statement now that I have tested this version).
See Below.
One can pay a fee and download XandroS from it's site which is a good commercial ploy.
I hope they become successful in their endeavour.
P.S.
I do not know what to say.
I downloaded 2.0.8 and that got me to sign up with CNR which I promptly did.
Then when I wanted to activate the registration Firefox in my Linux alerted me that it is not a safe site and validity certificate has expired on February 2010.
I believe that XandrOs has some unhealthy alliance with Microsoft and the Live CD makes me to sign up with Hotmail.
I avoided both these traps and I believe some newbies have been douched!
I cannot recommend this Live CD and I have to thank Firefox for taking me out of it.It is marketed with Flash, Acrobat and Java too, thus violating copyrights.
Beware!
Do not even believe me what I have written so far on all the Live CDs I have tested.
Go only for a trusted Linux distribution with a home web site registered with GNU license!
It is slow. Very, very slow to boot.
Must be a Hybrid of Microsoft.
It's X-Windows sounds unfamiliar.
Anybody can take open source and make a hybrid and promote it as genuine Open Source Linux and advertise.
So Beware!
Ask a trusted Linux Guru before embarking.
Learn how to swim in this commercial world of duplicates and Hybrids.
I am not Guru but a Linux enthusiast!
