It is very much a full linux installation with office and internet basics all running. much like gentoo deciding to show up knoppix for their install cd. i think this is a great ide agiving you a full workstation that you can deal with even if it doesnt have "EVERYTHNING" you even need. it has enough to keep you functional. while you build your main system or rebuild your main system. very nicely done devteam very nice. although a little bit of prettyness would be on the oputput tab to add some scrollbars. took me a few min to realis i could just click in the box and roam about with my keyboard to watch what its doing. --- John Walsh wrote: > Ok, but will the CD still ahve everything it had before, or will you be > removing stuff to make > room for X and all of that?
