Xandros Desktop 2.5 represents the fourth release of the desktop GNU/Linux distribution formerly known as Corel Linux. Xandros prides itself on superior Windows compatibility, and to maintain that reputation it includes some hard-hitting tools for making Windows programs work well on GNU/Linux. It's a little on the expensive side as far as desktop distributions go, and it feels somewhat like a slightly watered-down version of Linspire, but Xandros 2.5 Business Edition definitely has its advantages.
Xandros Desktop Business Edition comes with Sun StarOffice 7 and 60 days of standard support from Sun Microsystems along with a Sun online training course on migrating from other office suites; CodeWeavers CrossOver Office 3.0.1; KDE 3.1.4; XFree86 4.3; Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2; and Mozilla 1.6 with a very nice custom theme and the Flash, Java, and PDF plug-ins. The kernel is 2.4.24 with hardware accelerated proprietary drivers for ATI and Nvidia video cards (so you can play 3D games like Unreal Tournament 2004) and a module for NeTraverse Win4Lin.
