Saw over DistroWatch that ExtremeTech has posted a review on Xandros Desktop 1.0

"Xandros comes on one CD with a fairly thick manual (more than 200 pages) and is priced at $99 . We don't usually bother with manuals but new users will appreciate having this documentation at their fingertips. It's written in a clear, easy-to-read manner, covers a lot of topics and will be very helpful to novices coming over to Linux from Windows. We wish every desktop-oriented distros came with similar in-depth documentation."

ExtremeTech has posted a review on SuSE Linux 8.1

"In this review, we'll take a look at the features and characteristics that make SuSE appealing to many people. Most of our focus will be on the new desktop features found in SuSE 8.1 Personal, though we'll mention a few new server features, too. If you've never used GNU/Linux software before, SuSE 8.1 certainly qualifies as one of the distros that you should look at closely. If you have used GNU/Linux software before, note that SuSE offers easy installation, good organization of administration and configuration, solid hardware detection, a plentiful selection of software, and a fine reputation."
