Symphony OS is a Desktop computer operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux and Knoppix GNU/Linux. Rather than using the KDE or Gnome Desktop environments as most Linux distributions do, the Symphony OS team has created the revolutionary Mezzo Desktop environment. Symphony provides what we consider to be the easiest to use Linux experience there is.

burning to disk, this looks really quite nice

EDIT: installing to hard disk, the cd is a livecd (with knoppix installer) everything was set up properly and it looks really good

Just tried it myself - meh, I still prefer Gnome personally

This isn't anything special IMO, and it's pretty out of date too - Firefox 1.0?! Oh well, was worth a try.

About time Linux looked good

Once this goes from Beta to Final I think I might start on Linux, nice timing too with Vista in the pipeline.
