Linux all the way!

20 days using PCLinuxOS 2007 now. I wont be going back to Windows, except maybe for some games, though i don’t game much.

Linux is the os of the future, for the desktop and especially for embedded devices.

I much prefer the KDE gui to Gnome. It provides a better crossover from Windows and also has very good applications made for it. KdeTV is the best TV viewer I’ve seen. It’s image motion filter is excellent.

I had to download “VLC” to get the old tv capture card working. “Windows Vista” would not recognise it any way. Setting up “Mythtv” was difficult but with help from the web over two days it finally started up. I have still to experiment with “transcode” or “ffmpeg” for recording live tv.
