Aint that a proprietary software?
These now coming distros are just trying to make proprietary software work with free system. Xandros i heard also bundles bagful of non-free software. Xandros on its homepage says...
[quote] The Deluxe Edition of Xandros Desktop version 2 delivers everything found in the Standard Edition, plus the ability to run popular Windows productivity software, such as Microsoft Office, Windows plugin support to expand your Linux web browsing experience, the ability to install on a Windows XP machine, [/quote]
Bet there are loaded CrossOver in the distro,but Xandro's is not the first one to do that.Quite a few others like SuSe have done it before.Its always safe to stick with GNU/Debian if you are concerned about non-free commerial applications. _________________________ Cheers
