Xandros, Inc. was a software company which sold Xandros Desktop, a Linux distribution. The name Xandros was derived from the X Window System and the Greek island of Andros.[2]
Xandros was founded in May 2001 by Linux Global Partners (Will Roseman and Dr. Frederick Berenstein).[3] The company was headquartered in New York City with its development office in Ottawa, Canada.
Xandros Desktop was based on Corel Linux, a Debian-based distribution that was acquired along with the development team behind the product from Corel Corporation in August 2001 after Corel decided to exit the Linux distribution market.[4] Xandros was a founding member of the Desktop Linux Consortium and member of the Interop Vendor Alliance.[5]
In July 2007, Xandros bought Scalix, a Linux-based email and collaboration product, based on HP OpenMail.[6][7]
In July 2008, Xandros acquired Linspire.
In 2013, Xandros, Inc. changed its name to Bridgeways, Inc.[1], and soon after, the Xandros website was taken offline. (The Xandros website was last updated in November 2009.)[8] As a result, DistroWatch listed Xandros as discontinued.[9]
On 1 January 2018, PC/OpenSystems LLC purchased Xandros and Linspire from Bridgeways, Inc., and resurrected the Xandros branding withXandros OpenDesktop[2] (a commercial release) and Xandros OpenServer[3] (a free release), based on Ubuntu 20.04. Xandros OpenDesktop would later be rebranded as Xandros Enterprise Desktop, and Xandros OpenServer would be rebranded as Xandros Enterprise Server, and PC/OpenSystems also introduced free versions named Xandros Community Edition (using GNOME) and Xandros Developer Edition (using dwm).
