"We are constantly being asked when the Linux desktop will be ready for enterprise use, and my answer is, 'Now'!,'"
said Andreas Typaldos, Xandros CEO. "As a special limited-time offer, Xandros will send a free sample of the new business
desktop OS to qualified enterprises seeking a secure, plug-in replacement for their costly Windows desktops so they can see for
themselves."

operating system. I am going to put Xandros Business Edition on my computers and recommend it to others because it's better
than any OS I've seen to date," said Alton Jones, Technology Development Administrator for Starpoint Communications, Inc.. "It downloads clean, it's
fast and it works."
