Yeah, I agree; it's not pretty. But if it runs everything that Windows will, then I can save the $20 it costs for me to buy XP Pro from my school's IT department :)

Hey all, Some guy at my college sent out an e-mail to the "Randomness" mailing list about this OS. I searched for it here, but there doesn't seem to be a mention. I don't know if I'll be trying it out myself, but it's fun seeing what people are working on. Here's what they say: "The...
