New Flavor Of Linux: Kororaa

Dronelord #639 Thu, Mar 16th 2006 3 [ Read: First / Last ]

I am always on the lookout for a cool new distro, I have tried many and settled on SUSE 9.3 Pro. It is a solid distro and does everything that I need it to do. But.....

I saw a new distro called Kororaa. It is based on Gentoo (which I never really got into). The desktop seems more alive. When you drag a window, a wiggles like jello, virtual desktops are crazy as the whole desktop can be dragged and moved with the mouse. Transparencies, icon resizing (not just all of them at once, but you can pick and choose how big you want each individual icon if you want), and just a very smooth OS overall. It is very OSX, but I like it better. It is still in beta release, so I can't wait for the Kororaa team to release a final version.

Check out this video demonstrating the cool "wow" features of Kororaa.

	Um, I am not sure I like the idea of someone else touching up my posts unless I was out of line or swearing or something. If this is going to be a normal practice around here, I just wont post anymore. Oh, I do know how to make proper hyperlinks, but I was in a hurry to get to school so I didnt think that cutting and pasting a URL was that big of deal to be edited over.

	No, SaneAsylum's rendering engine puts in the hyperlinks, and is meant as a convenience. It does it to the comments too. I did add a picture for you, but I have since removed it. I have added pictures for people in the past and have never had a negative reaction before. My apologies, it won't happen again.

	Thanks for the apology. The reason I didnt put a picture up was to try to intrigue the reader to go to the website and see for themselves. Good to know about the rendering engine.
