    Looks like a dumb idea to throw so much crap which isn't even meant to work together and try to force it to, onto one DVD.....

    Good luck, I've seen it before and it looked kind of cool until I realized all of the crap that is in it and how it looks hacked together.

    Zoid's ancient, he's been distro hopping since before it was cool.

    (Wait, it was cool?)

    I'm checking ManhattanOS now....it's pretty cool really....it uses AWN for a bottom panel and menu/systray.....it's gtk basically but they've integrated Plasma on the desktop somehow....still fooling around with it. it's getting some good press. Looks very polished IMO....think I'll try it for an extended run and see what happens :)

    EDIT: Zorin is a much better OS to wean someone off of windows..it's much more integrated....LOL
