Hi All - I'm working on a free Operating System that comes with everything you need to produce multimedia....It's almost like using windows xp or Mac and it will automatically setup your net connections...it's based on slackware linux but it's user friendly and FREE.. - It boots and works from the cd (no installation necessary) and works on most PC's... Just burn the ISO(cd image) to a CD and boot it up (your computer has to be set to boot from the CD) Try it out - you'll find out how up to date Linux is and it may open up some new worlds to you
