Wow, the people at Xandros really have their crap together.  What I really wanted to do is to setup a central media server machine that would have mondo GB's that would allow us to stream music, video, or just files to other computers (most likely running on Windows).  While it seems to be able to do this easily, I also had a side project to give a computer to Jackie's grandmother.  Linux came to mind immediately for this purpose as well.  Free distro's, more secure, can't play games on it (them pesky kids), less spyware = less headaches for me having to support it.

I broke out an old PII 550Mhz with 256MB's of RAM, and threw in a 40GB hard drive.  She's mainly going to be surfing the web (checking email, looking at crap on the Inet) so this sucker doesn't need to be super fast.  Xandros' installation was super easy.  It was easier than Fedorra's.  It also went by pretty quickly: took around an hour.  I easily setup a root account, and even a account that she'd use to login.  I was totally setup in an hour and a half.  I was wondering what else I could do to get it ready...nothing, it was ready!

Now all we have to do is get it over to her house, setup her Inet connection (through dial-up or whatever she wants [yep, there's a wizard for this as well]), and she's ready to rock. 

Me like.
