The update to the operating system is based on Debian GNU/Linux, a fully free version of the open-source software, and the KDE desktop system.

Xandros Desktop 2.0 comes in a standard version for $39. A deluxe version, for $89, includes Crossover Office, which allows users to run Microsoft Office applications on Linux.
