Xandros Releases Spanish Edition of Xandros Desktop

New York, August 5, 2003 – Xandros, Inc., provider of the award-winning Xandros Desktop, has released the Spanish Edition of Xandros Desktop. In conjunction with the release, Xandros has teamed up with Pixart Argentina, a leading South American software distributor, to market Xandros products throughout the southern cone of Latin America.

"The Spanish-speaking market is the second largest in the world," said Dr. Frederick H. Berenstein, Co-Chairman of Xandros. "The Corel Linux OS, upon which the Xandros Desktop is based, is popular in Latin America to this day and the Spanish Edition of the Xandros Desktop will build upon that success."

"This accord marks a turning point in the history of Linux distributions," said Gabriel Ortiz, president of Pixart Argentina. "The Xandros Desktop 1.1 has features never before offered in our market. It overcomes the barriers between Microsoft Windows and Linux, and provides an alternative with important savings to assemblers, distributors, governments, and, above all, the final consumer."

The Spanish Edition of Xandros Desktop 1.1 has identical features to the English release. Its benefits include:

 * Compatibility with Microsoft Office files
 * Instant access to Microsoft networks
 * Familiar look and feel
 * Best-of-breed Xandros-engineered applications
 * Simple five-step graphical installation

Xandros Desktop is the only Linux distribution to provide secure login authentication against Windows domain controllers, and its powerful file manager provides instant file sharing between local Linux and Windows computers, as well as with networked Windows clients.
