Kororaa Releases XGL LiveCD 65

Posted by CowboyNeal on Friday March 10, 2006 @03:21AM from the try-before-you-buy dept.

Tony Tony Chopper writes "The team from Kororaa who brought us a GUI based Gentoo installer have just released the first live CD to use xgl technology. From Kororaa.org, the lead developer Chris writes 'Today I am happy to release a Kororaa Live CD showcasing Xgl technology.' The response so far have been incredibly positive, an article at tuxmachines.org is glowing with much praise and few complaints. For those who love eye-candy but don't want to mess with their existing installs, this is the perfect opportunity to see what Xgl is about. The torrent can be downloaded from LinuxTracker."

XGL [was] developed behind closed doors by Novell

It doesn't really matters how it was developed; the source code is freely available under GPL. If someone feels they can do better, there is nothing stopping them.
