Puppy Linux 2.15CE has a few new tricks
,----[ Quote ]
| The Puppy developers have been issuing new versions at a very quick
| pace. Looking at Distrowatch, between Sept. 14, 2006 (Puppy 2.10)
| and April 6, 2007 (Puppy 2.15), there have been six Puppy releases
| in under eight months -- quite a pace.

Xandros Desktop Professional
,----[ Quote ]
| This is actually a good question, especially for an organization
| looking for a cost-effective solution to their software licenses.
| At USD $99, the package is actually good, not to mention that you
| have access to CrossOver Office which is a solid offering by
| itself. However, the Xandros Desktop license only allows unlimited
| installations to home computers plus one commercial-use computer. For
| home users looking for a simple desktop environment that is
| commercially supported, this is actually a good deal but businesses
| might look elsewhere or contact Xandros directly for other possible
| license arrangements. Surprisingly, even the free Open Circulation
| version of Xandros desktop allows business use only if you are a
| software developer.
|
| If not for its strict licensing terms, Xandros Desktop Professional
| is a good choice if you are looking for a stable system with an
| emphasis on Windows - Linux integration. The overall visual design
| of the desktop leaves a lot to be desired but can be easily
| remedied with a few tweaks.

That's how money can be made in Free software. The Red Hat way. Alfesco seems
to be doing pretty well, unlike its proprietary software rivals which perish
in the face of brutal competition.
