[CVALE] Linux XP

[joe brosnon]

I was wondering the same thing.
   
  Let me know when you find out.  Currently, I am using Puppy 2.1 distribution.  I like the fact that while I am still new to Linux (HATE WINXP crashes),  I can boot to Puppy off of a USB flash memory stick and not have to worry about partitioning and WINXP problems with GRUB.  Puppy runs 100% in RAM, does need need a hard drive.  At the end of each session you can tell it to save to the flash drive with the rest of the OS for future use.  It auto-configures everything but the keyboard style. Its only 65 Mb total and on a 512 Mb or 1 Gb flash, you don't need anything else for it to run.  I am still looking for a Linux Distro that "automatically" detects video-audio codecs and strts the streaming right away, so I don't have to fiddle with plugins.  I want to see my streaming video content correctly the FIRST time.  WinXP doesn't even do that. WMP,Realplayer, Quicktime, Macromedia Flash, JAVA should be sufficient for 90% of web surfing.

  Just wondering if anyone's used this... I am thinking of trying it on my laptop, But my main concerns are that if it's all in russian, I won't be too happy, And if it is flat out a bad distribution, then that's not going to make me happy either. So if anyone's given it a shot can you tell me? I would also like to know if it's basically a revamped fedora and if it still uses the fedora repositories, and if gnome is 2.16 or not :) thanks
