What is the difference between andLinux and coLinux?

http://www.andlinux.org/

They seem to have similar logos and website...

"andLinux uses CoLinux as its core which is confusing for many people. CoLinux is a port of the Linux kernel to Windows.[...] Xming is used as X server and PulseAudio as sound server"

That seems to clarify things a bit. andLinux seems to take coLinux and add a couple of other utilities to give you a more seamless integration. last time I used coLinux I had to use VNC to connect from Windows to my running coLinux instance.

Yep - coLinux is the kernel plus a text console. Using coLinux is very much like having a headless Linux box on the network.

andLinux is coLinux and a Windows X server, all packaged up nicely so you can run GUI apps.
