THIS IS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO PROMOTE A DISTRIBUTION!!! :-) Because of the hype about the XGL in Linux, I decided to try out Kororaa (A Linux live CD demonstrating the XGL power/features).
I powered up my computer and boot up Kororaa Live CD ... WOW! Without having to try out the XGL features and power, I was stunned by the speed and responsiveness of the system. I didn't expect a Live CD to be this fast. It is even faster than my installed linux distribution. 1. The boot-up process is blazing fast (using Gnome 2.12) 2. All the needed free but proprietary software/drivers are included (nvidia, etc.) 3. I fired up firefox and the internet connection is already set up 4. Lots of goodies are included except OpenOffice.org I know it's just intended to showcase the XGL. :-) Now on to the UI. IT IS FUN! 1. Your window becomes wobbly when you try to move them; 2. Switching to another desktop rotates a cube. Try it out and have some fun! I am going to bring this Live CD with me to show to friends ... Ciao!
