Xandros preps new Linux business desktop

On the day after Thanksgiving, Xandros Inc. will be giving business Linux users an early holiday present: Xandros Desktop Professional version 4.0.

This new version of this well-regarded Debian-based desktop is designed to work in both Linux- and Windows-based office networks. It comes ready for use on NT domain, AD (Active Directory), and Linux/Unix NIS (Network Information Service)-based LANs.

In particular, seamless integration into existing Windows-centric networks is provided through support of not domain and AD authentication, but logon scripts, and group policy profiles, as well. The distribution also supports writing to Microsoft’s NTFS partitions, and integration with Microsoft Exchange email and groupware.
