ABC GNU/Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| This is how the first version of ABC
| GNU/Linux arose, which was in trial phase
| by April 2009. It involves a free
| software-based distribution (Ubuntu), is
| live as well as installable, and is
| capable of automatically configuring a
| cluster of up to 254 computers. Castanos
| said, â100 PCs are purchased and my DVD is
| inserted into one of these and booted,
| either from the DVD or installed in the
| hard disk itself. This computer and the
| rest of the machines are connected
| together by a switch (a device that acts
| like a router). When the rest of the
| machines are booted, using a BIOS (basic
| in/out system) specifying which device is
| to be booted, they are told what to do by
| means of the network card. All are booted
| from the DVD itself -- or the hard disk if
| installed -- registered, and connections
| are created between them.â

Arch Linux + KDE 4.4.2
,----[ Quote ]
| After about an hour or so of automated
| downloading and installing in pacman, I was
| rewarded with a beautiful state-of-the-art
| desktop that nearly puts Windows 7 to
| shame. Its file management and multimedia
| applications have all the function and
| polish of Mac OS X, and its desktop widgets
| are in a class all their own. From a side-
| scrolling menu, you can select widgets to
| view folder contents, CPU load, network
| connections, battery status, and more.
| Additional widgets can be downloaded by
| clicking a button from the widget browser.
