Linux XP
Whatever happened to Linux XP? I've seen the ad, it looks good, but everytime I click on the link to download, all I get is a "404" error and nothing else. I would like to try it. Does anyone have the link for it?

They only have the server editon at this time. I was just interested in trying it out. I try out all Linux edtions that have live CD, to see if I like it. Too, I didn't realize they charged for their product. Xandros charges as well. Thanks for all of your advice.

Just forget about it. I received in the mail from Canonical the latest version of Ubuntu (9.10). I agree with one of the above members, why pay for what you can get for free. Ubuntu is the #1 Linux distro on the market, there are copy cats using the Ubuntu base, and some of them are good, too. Linux Mint is a good example of that, and it's an excellent distro as well. The latest Ubuntu and Xubuntu has Firefox 3.5.4 as their browser, so they are showing that they are staying on top of things. There are many great people here on this forum who take their precious time to help others, and I'm thankful of that. Linux was meant to be free, and if I offended anyone about asking about Linux XP, I apoligise for my actions. I was only interested because it appeared to be a Windows lookalike, but much cheaper. It's been a hard five months or so trying to break away from Windows, but I keep chugging forward. The new Ubuntu looks promising, it seems to be more user friendly than previous versions. And it was right to remove the offer to sell on this forum. This isn't eBay. Thanks to the editors for keeping this forum clean and what it is meant to be: A place for helping one another. Thanks to you all for your advice, and as far as Linux XP is concerned, let it stay in Russia.
