Calling distributions Linux-based rather than, for example, Mandriva Linux is wise. Otherwise, it's difficult to know at what point Mandriva and Debian become distinct.
As the article notes, Xandros does this already, e.g. Xandros Desktop OS. For the average user, this is much clearer than Xandros Linux. "Which one" is probably a question potential Linux users never get beyond - so they stay with what they are already using.

As a Windows IT guy, I can't count the number of times a user has called to tell me, "Microsoft isn't working. Could you come and take a look at it?"
