Not much hardware or gaming related but this little and powerful Linux distribution is getting some real attention, high enough to merit a news. This new version includes so much that I can't describe it all here, for starters, it is based on Linux 2.6.32 kernel and boots REAL fast, I mean, like, 8 seconds on my current PC which is way faster than my Windows 7 is booting, second, it doesn't need any kind of disk partitioning and you can installing right inside Windows (it creates a virtual hard disk inside a file in your current disk of choice and can be removed as easily as you remove a program in your add/remove software) and includes a whole lot of new things including 3D support for ATI and NVIDIA with open source drivers right from the start (you can install propietary ones later), so, let go ahead and check it out, you may be surprised!

You can even request "Free-CD's shiping" (yes, as in free-beer) right to your home totally free of charge (If you want to have the original CD/DVD with stickers in your home) or you can simply download it from the servers, including a torrent download.
