I am currently testing Knoppix 5.0 :

Unsurprisingly it looks like KDE.

KDE is the default desktop environment.

Ok I went through about 20 Distros today, process of elimination...

I have come back to Sabayon Linux specifically RR64 mini edition

Here is a screenshot and a question:



I have to say this is the most fast and responsive distro. clean, sharp and easy.

Now like most Distros you have to load the codecs, my question is what is the most easy and fastest way to do this?

This is their codec pack.

And the install guide.

This doesn't look very o.o.t.b

o.o.t.b? out of the ballpark?

I have to say I am most impressed with Sabayon Linux and the forums are very friendly.

Come on Yozef

I thought we were looking for "outoftheboxiness" ?

I like the look of it too, that "klik!" installer looks interesting, just been reading their website. What about the codecs though? Arent you running 64 bit?
note:

• AMD64 architecture
  • The Windows Codecs package cannot be used directly by the AMD64 distribution. Some people solve this problem by installing the i386 Ubuntu distribution inside a chroot (for example, Linux Vserver or dchroot), and this works very well.

Is this the same for other distros?

LOL it is supposed to have all the codecs, but my screwy BIOS menu is missing the boot from DVD option so I had to use the mini edition.

I am willing to figure out how to get everything working on my end.

This is the fastest most beautiful distro I have come across and the forums are friendly and helpfull.

I was surprised how friendly...

Edit I just read your qoute this 64bit is stinking fast! I mean the fastest distro ever I will figure out how to get the codecs working using the link you gave RICH.

or just dual boot to windows.
