Xandros gives away desktop Linux

ZDNet: "Xandros, a start-up focused on desktop Linux, has begun offering a stripped-down but free version of its product. The New York City-based company on Wednesday released the Open Circulation Edition. This desktop version of the Linux operating system resembles the company's regular products but it is free, is restricted to personal use and lacks some features. The free version, for example, doesn't have e-mail support, an instruction manual, the fastest CD-writing speeds or the CodeWeavers software for running Windows programs on a Linux machine, Xandros said. It also comes with a version of Opera's Web browser that's advertising supported."

This might be my first serious excuse to try BitTorrent, which is required for the Xandros Open Circulation Edition, unless you don't mind paying $10 for the HTTP download. Interesting move.
