Linux for all

A zero config Linux distribution called BabelLinux has been made by the Brit boff behind Pipex and much of the internet.

Running off of a live CD, the distro claims to be a no crap, simple interface aiming to achieve a clean and simple way to get people to use Linux with the least amount of fuss.

Write access to the physical hard drives will be disallowed, and storage of documents will be made possible through an online service provided by BabelLinux, for £1 a month and £10 start up fee.

This is an interesting approach to getting people into Linux and away from Windows, but will it’s over simplistic design work? Too many people are already familiar with the Windows look — they may even feel scared to venture away from M$.

What ever happens, it’ll be a great solution to run if you need to complete that piece of coursework, and all your drives have just become un-bootable.
