Chakra-07-Update

Chacra has done a good job and has taken away black scrreen and has introduced the light KDE desktop.
Boots up quickly and connect to web without a hassel.
It has Avahi and Konquer which probaly has saved lot of MiBs.
K3b is a value added doisk burner.
The installer is still in black screen, probaly to save Mib but would make a newbie nervous and me somewhat blind.
This is the same critisism I (black screen) I leveled against it (Dark and black background) but Chacra has come of age and it has everything a savvy needs.

Thanks guys / girls.

We must offer generous donations if we care them to survive in the long run.
This writing was done live Chakra booted and running without any stain on my RAM.
They have included a neat script with passwords which is admirable.
By the way I downloaded Orion (ubuntu derivative) with 1.3 Gb and could not mount it.
There is no hint of the password for alpha in its release or documentation.
In a hurry for the release most developers forget simple things.

Thanks for including the password script which others should emulate.
There are no colour fonts since I am working live CD on RAM.

RIP-Linux-41

Recovery is Possible is the mission of R.I.P. Linux and stands true to it's name.

All the utilities packed in its 100 MiB Live CD is something a Linux savvy should have in his pocket Live CD.

I have not tested any of the utilities since my PCLinux 2010 does not give any headaches in spite of 200 odd downloads and the daily use and testing of other Linux distributions.
It is something a Microsoft guy should have to solve Microsoft's problems including many viruses.

It's release cycle is fast and updates come by the minute.

It rivals only the Damn Small Linux = DSL (which of course is Debian based and have very slow release cycles) which I use when I am in any trouble.

Well done!
