Xandros offers free preview of its premium Linux desktop
Sep. 14, 2006

Xandros Inc. on Sept. 14 began offering a 30-day-trial edition of its Xandros Desktop 4 Premium for free download. Introduced last June, this latest Xandros version features a 2.6.15 Linux kernel and a KDE desktop environment.

Xandros Desktop 4 is touted as a beginner-friendly distribution with a customized version of KDE and a host of intuitive desktop utilities designed to ease migration from Windows to Linux.

Specifically, Xandros Desktop 4 includes X.Org 6.9.0, KDE 3.4.2, OpenOffice.org 2.0.1, Firefox 1.5.0.4, and other popular open-source applications.

Xandros says its Linux desktop combines highly regarded open source technologies with a corporate attention to completeness, usability, and support. Based in Ottawa, Xandros's team includes the developers and architects of the award-winning Corel Linux OS, which represents the original basis of the Xandros Linux distribution.

To obtain the free download, go here, and click on the "Free 30-day Trial" link in the right-hand column. After registering your name and email address, you will receive a download link via email.
