For a moment I thought that Barry had cooked his own Linux . . . . .

If you look closely at the screenshots there is a red hat in one. Looks like this distro is based on Red Hat!

QUOTE (teacher @ Nov 12 2003, 02:33 PM) If you look closely at the screenshots there is a red hat in one. Looks like this distro is based on Red Hat! You are correct...it is based on RedHat 9.0, almost exclusively; the "start-up" and "configuration" screen is straight from Knoppix. At first, all I got was Japanese! Then I re-booted, typed in: < berry lang=us > at the initial prompt, and it's like another RH9 version...but with far fewer programs, etc. One thing, though, it automatically configured everything, and accurately. It definitely is not in the same class as Knoppix or Slackware - as far as "LiveCD's" go...but for those who enjoy RH9, Fedora, Lorma, JamD, etc., they'd probably like it.

What really impressed me, was the d/l speed: 230KB/sec...they could teach the "Turbo-Japanese" something!

That is sweet. I have come to associate "slow download" with Japanese versions.

OMG Quint I was just looking at that distro last night - I saw the Redhat Icon and said nope. I really want to get Gentoo installed
