From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm with you on looking nice thing. That's why I used eterm with a very long command line to become a part of the wallpaper essentially. Nothing wrong with looking good.

I just installed it to check it out. Only runs as root but it seems plenty snappy. I'm not hung up on performance or anything but any kind of lag from a terminal would be unacceptable but hey it seems fine. Thanks for your post, I'll definitely mess with it.
