Over the
years, the Linux operating system has become a very
popular operating system among computer enthusiasts as
well as experimenting home users. The trouble with the
Linux operating system has always been getting
started. Phat Linux strives to eliminate this
problem.
The
partitioning demands of a ordinary Linux
distributions make installing Linux very intimidating
for many new users. Often times this can even
defer experimenting. This is why Phat Linux has been
created.
Phat
Linux is very unique because it doesn't require a
separate hard drive partition, to be installed.
Phat Linux can be installed on the same
partition as Windows. Whether you have
Windows 95/98, NT, ME, 2000 or XP, Phat Linux will
work on our computer.
Because
of this feature, curious computer users are free to
install Linux on their computer without the fear of
losing valuable information. Phat Linux will
install like a regular Windows application, but run as
any other Linux installation would. Unlike
conventional Linux distributions, Phat Linux
can be removed with unprecedented ease.
Phat
Linux uses a Windows based interface for its
installation. There has never been more simple
way to install Linux. Unlike other
distributions of Linux, you will not need a book to
figure out how to install it.
A
common misconception with Linux is that there is a
lack of applications. This is simply not true. Not
only will Linux run existing Windows
applications, but there are a full array of
applications available for Linux, for every purpose.
On top of that, there are several free office
suites available for Linux!
Phat
Linux also comes with a complete desktop
environment. The packaged environment, XIMIAN
GNOME, is a complete desktop environment built
completely of free software.
