AWESOME!!!<br>

So we now have RHEL, SLES and Gentoo.<br>
<br>
We need Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and Slackware. OpenSuse will be a full talk in March. Other distros?<br>

If I'm in country, I'll do 5 minutes on Bodhi (Enlightenment + Ubuntu) which has now become my choice on 3 systems I use. The polish and useability on the latest version is awesome. The default file manager is a little weak (but pretty) but anything else you want to install works well.<br>
It takes me about 10 clicks to make the system work the way I want from<br>
a fresh install: Windows focus (click to raise), make the mouse arrow bigger.. (I lose it easily), xrandr for dual screens....<br>
<br>
I like the way the favorites menu is a right click away on any exposed desktop, or Ctrl-Alt-M for the menu. And the "iBar" is cute, but stays out of my way better than the similar bottom menu on a mac.<br>
<br>
It's fast on older (but still nice) hardware and it just stays out of my way and lets me work.<br>
<br>
Other than some screen shots/video's. That was my 5 min.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
