I really wish Xandros would stay out of the server market. To be honest, I feel like most Linux companies do this as the hard ware is easier to support. And that folks, is sad. Little more for the desktop, guys!

Xandros Inc. has been selling its own flavor of desktop Linux after it bought the former Corel Linux business and rebuilt the technology into a product for consumers and small and medium-size businesses.

Now the company is jumping deeper into the operating system sales war by introducing Xandros Server Standard Edition software next month. Its goal is to try to capture a heftier chunk of the SMB marketplace and establish Xandros Linux as the operating system of choice for smaller businesses that want easier administration and lower costs compared to Microsoft Windows.

At the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo, Andreas Typaldos, CEO of New York-based Xandros, said his company is also aiming squarely at the void left in the market several years ago by Linux vendor Red Hat Inc. when it began to target large companies with its beefed-up enterprise server product line. The move left smaller businesses and consumers without a lower-cost boxed version of the company’s Linux operating system. Source: LinuxWorld
