New York, July 28, 2003 - Xandros, Inc., provider of the award-winning
Xandros Desktop, today announced a $100,000.00 giveaway of Xandros Desktop
Deluxe to attendees of the San Francisco LinuxWorld convention, August 5-7,
2003.

The first 1,012 LinuxWorld visitors to have their badges scanned at the
Xandros booth R-10 will receive absolutely free, a complete boxed version of
Xandros Desktop Deluxe. "This is the fully registered version, complete with
printed user guide," said Dr. Frederick H. Berenstein, Co-Chairman of
Xandros. "Even though the Xandros team has been together since 1999, we're
still perceived as the new kid on the block, so we decided to make a splash
at our LinuxWorld debut."

Xandros Desktop leverages the performance and reliability of Linux to create
a secure desktop that seamlessly integrates with existing enterprise
environments, where compatibility and ease of use are essential requirements.
Its benefits include:

   -  Simple five-step graphical installation 

   -  Integrated partition management 

   -  Familiar look and feel 

   -  Best-of-breed Xandros-engineered applications 

   -  Compatibility with the popular Microsoft file formats

Xandros Desktop is the only Linux distribution to provide secure login
authentication against Windows domain controllers, and its powerful file
manager provides instant file sharing between local Linux and Windows
computers, as well as with networked Windows clients.
