Xandros Announces Two Beta Programs
Opens Applications to Testers for Xandros Desktop 2.0 and
Xandros Networks Enterprise
New York, August 5, 2003 – Xandros, Inc., today announced the
opening of the beta program for the 2.0 release of its award-winning
Xandros Desktop. Users interested in testing Xandros Desktop
2.0 are invited to apply at the Xandros web site. Xandros is
also looking for IT administrators considering mass deployment
of the Xandros Desktop to test the forthcoming release of Xandros
Networks Enterprise.
"We are excited to be nearing the final development phase of
Xandros Desktop 2.0," said Dr. Frederick H. Berenstein, Co-Chairman
of Xandros. "The product will incorporate the latest version
of KDE plus several unique innovations from Xandros that will
continue to simplify the work of corporate and home users alike.
We’re equally excited to be nearing completion of the pilot
phase Xandros Networks Enterprise, which will take enterprise
deployment and administration of Xandros Desktop to a whole
new level."
The beta programs are conducted to garner insight from potential
users and to assure that the forthcoming Xandros product releases
meet the same stability and ease of use standards set by Xandros
Desktop 1.0. Xandros Desktop 2.0 is slated for release in late
2003.
From the applicants, Xandros will select a beta test team that
covers a broad assortment of hardware and deployment scenarios.
Enterprise IT managers seeking to test the desktop deployment
and administration tools in Xandros Networks Enterprise should
go to xandros.com/beta.html (expired) to answer the
questionnaire describing their existing environment and reasons
for potential deployment. Xandros is looking to test the enterprise
tools for a diversity of user requirements in corporate, educational,
and governmental settings. A minimum of 100 networked nodes
is required.
