"We wanted to give something back to the community -- not just to the kernel developers, KDE, OpenOffice.org and a myriad other projects, but also to the beta testers, reviewers, and thousands of users who have enthusiastically received and supported our products, said Stephen Harris, Xandros marketing director and community relations spokesman. He added that "Xandros developers, support and executive staff are extremely active and dedicated members of the community, so this comes from the heart and soul of the Xandros team."
This download includes an office suite, web browsing, e-mail, and multimedia capabilities. The open circulation release is similar to the company's Standard version but substitutes the Opera browser for Mozilla and CD burning speed is limited in the free version.
Xandros Open Circulation edition has a four-click install with automatic disk partitioning, dual-boot installation for supporting Windows XP and Linux, system hardware detection and configuration, drag-and-drop CD burning, as well as file and print sharing on Windows networks.
The Open Circulation license allows the use of Xandros desktop for non-commercial use. E-mail installation support is not included with the download.
Download it here for free using BitTorrent, a file sharing protocol for downloading files. There is a US $10 fee for http download to cover bandwidth and administration costs.
