Hi Zabil,

Thanks a lot for the CD.

I tried it out and am positively impressed by the
simple and elegant interface.
My system at home is a 500MHz PIII. Susie and FC3 are
quite slow on this and I always thought the problem
was with the old system and the KDE/GNOME desktops
which hog resources.

Ubuntu proved that my assumptions were wrong.

I need to add a few other educational softwares though
for our purpose.

cheers
Shiv
