Installed Xandros2.0 yesterday, did the download and then burn a cd route. Used BitTornado for the first time, Bit Tornado starts out downloading quite slowly but does pick up speed and is soon at 200 to 300KBps. You do need a hi-speed connection as the download is over 500MB's.
The Xandros installation was without a problem. If you have been thinking of giving Linux a try, go to www.xandros.com and approx. an hour later you should have it up and running. I use burnatonce to burn my cd's.
