Working in the world of Knoppix
I've now tried Iceweasel/Firefox, and while the fonts
aren't quite as crisp as the Windows equivalent in
some cases, in others there's really no difference at
all. And I suspect that tweaking the monitor settings will take care of all of this. (For those of you know or care about such things, Knoppix used the KDE graphical interface.)
And let me tell you, the speed of this system, even
running off of a CD, is amazing. I'm imagining now how
fast this would be if everything was installed on the
hard drive.
And it's all so ... free ... and Microsoft and Apple
have absolutely nothing to do with it. All upgrades
are free. There are tons of applications. Security is
excellent (it's Unix, for God's sake).
Go back a few posts and TRY THIS YOURSELF. It's the
easiest bit of geek nirvana I've experienced in the
past year, and if that isn't a ringing endorsement, I
sure as f'n hell don't know what is.
