Linux eye candy.... (a must see for any computer user).

Post by **psi29a** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 6:31 am

So, you are wondering what is so great about Linux. Well, to tell the truth, the beauty behind Linux is stuff you don't see, the kernel which is the thing that makes the whole computer 'usable'.

However, what EVERYONE does "see" is the Window Manager and other GUI based applications and do-dads that are displayed on the desktop. Well, below I will list some links for you to follow that gives you some eye candy that is only available on Linux. Enjoy.

Please note that all of this is Open Source. Free as in speech and beer. If you want to use it, just follow the links or use a distrubution of Linux that supports it out of the box.

Also, your two movie links point to the same movie.
