I have just installed Purebasic on Xandros desktop and everything si working perfektly. I had a little problem at first since the gtk libs were missing, but that was fixed when I installed the 5 development tools from the install disc. can't remember which they were but there are only five of them.

I even tried installing PB for Windows using the Crossover Office package. First I got a memory error message when I started the install program. I went ahead with the install and it seems to work fine. The IDE was abit glitchy, no icons on the button hehehe ;) offcourse hehehe, and some objects went invisible when I resized or moved the IDE window. Also, when I tried to compile a simple hello app the program froze where it says compiling... Nothing happens after that. I know it isn't designed to work here but I would be fantastic if the compiler for Windows did work under the Crossover Office ;)

Just thought I'd share my experience with this cool Linux distro. And so far, this is without a doubt my favorite Linux distro. I'm really thinking about replacing XP with this ;) Most Windows apps works great here too so why not :)
