PCLinux - Shits all over Vista

PC Linux is a brilliant OS which introduces a user friendly interface into the world of Linux once again.

Honestly, I was impressed by the 2 - 5 features I saw when my mate used this. I would definately reccommend this piece of legend to all Linux users who want to have something that takes on Windows Vista and wins handily. Also, users of computers would enjoy this OS.



I've downloaded this myself but I haven't got the right stuff for it yet to install on one of my many computers... Here's a brief run-down of what I've seen so far.

- Windows look-a-like interface which keeps the same kind of theme which was used in Mandrake Linux 10.0

- Window transparency/opacity sliders

- Window flexibility

- Linux has been known mainly for it's multiple desktop feature/ability. Now it's been combined with similar programming to that of Yodm3d to bring you not 1 or 2, but SIX desktops which can be accessed by pressing some buttons and 'rotating' your desktop. I think the mounse can be used to rotate it as well... not too sure yet.

- Windows can be 1/2 in one desktop to another - a gag me mate did for no apparent reason

- Drag-and-drop interface between desktops

Remote accessibility - me mate left his computer with PC Linux on it running at home and managed to access it from the school's library computers, meaning that he was able to use his own PC from school... though there were some restrictions on the Internet access if I understood what he was babling about, meaning that he had to use the library's internet access system instead of his own, it's a nice feature to have if you forget something from home...
