possible
,----[ Quote ]
| Just a few months removed from its 1.2 update, the latest version of the
| GeeXBoX LiveCD has added multi threaded video decoding for MPEG-1/2/4 and
| h.264, which should finally let all users decode even 1080p video on dual-
| and quad-core systems running Linux.

Linux Distributions and the Paralysis of Choice
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux advocates like to brag about the number of choices people get with open
| source software. Windows offers very few choices, beyond dropping to your
| knees and begging "please, PLEASE let me keep XP! How much is a downgrade
| from Vista?" And Mac World even locks you into the hardware.

| If you have an old machine that you want to make functional, the leaders are
| Puppy Linux and Damn Small Linux. I found Puppy just a little bit easier and
| have it running on one machine.
|
| And if you have kids, Qimo is very good. It's also Ubuntu based, but it
| installs with a kid-friendly interface: large icons and lots of educational
| games. It also works well with older low-resource machines, a smart move
| since the kids often get the hand-me-down computer.
