| Xandros Desktop 2 post-installation sitrep: I had a 15Gig drive available, so I dropped that into the box with a 128MB ram stick. Then I put in the Xandros CD. It didn't want to do the dual-boot thing for some reason, so I let it use the whole drive. Had to swap out the modem for a non-winmodem from another computer, but no problems otherwise. Once Xandros was installed, I looked it over for maybe half an hour. Xandros looks and acts enough like Windows that I won't have to spend much time figuring things out. One of my questions was answered by the help file and the other was answered by the manual. I played a CD, played some MP3's, got on the net and left a note at the Xandros Yahoo group, did some email, pulled one of my books-in-progress off a floppy disk and created a new folder for my stuff on the hard drive, edited a couple of new chapters, and saved the results. In short, Xandros works as advertised, and I won't have to make a whole 'nother career out of using Linux.
