Xandros Linux provides better wireless support (IT Week)

[Posted June 19, 2006 by cook]

IT Week reports that Xandros 4.0 will will include better support for wireless networking. "The exact feature set for Xandros Desktop OS Version 4 has yet to be disclosed, but the company said it will support Wireless Profiles to help laptop users connect to Wi-Fi hotspots and store settings. It will also feature Xandros Security Suite, a set of tools including a personal firewall and antivirus features to protect PCs against spam, spyware and viruses."

Sorry, but I still can't take the anti-virus thing seriously. I guess it fits in with their "clone Windows as much as possible" design goal, and reassures Xandros users. Perhaps they should have a team writing some Linux spyware just to complete the effect? Also, is the network profiles stuff basically just NetworkManager? No point in reinventing the wheel - then again, no point in reinventing Windoze either!
