A live installable CD with optional AIGLX technology
Berry Linux is a bootable CD that features, automatic hardware detection. It supports many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI, USB, and other peripherals. If you have network devices, DHCP is auto-configured so you can use the Internet. You can enjoy OpenOffice, the MS Office compatible office suite. The GIMP can be used to edit pictures and is included in Berry Linux.
Berry Linux can be used as a Linux demo, Educational CD, or a rescue system. Because it is a bootable CD, you can try it out without touching your hard drive. If you like it, there is an option to install Berry Linux on your hard disk. (Needs 1.7GB of free space. Using the Berry Linux Installer). Berry Linux is based on Red Hat Fedora.
Minimum recommended system configuration for enabling AIGLX desktop acceleration:
*256MB RAM, Pentium3 with nVidia Geforce video card. This livecd requires a CPU with SSE instruction support. (i.e. P3 or later, Celeron with the minimum of a coppermine core. Athlon users need at least a Thunderbird 1GHz. Run "cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep sse" to check).
For a list of cards that are supported by their drivers, please see nVidia's here and ATI's here.
Linuxmans Notes
*Linux-Man recommends 256mb ram. AIXGL is a new technology and therefore highly experimental. It may not work with all graphic cards (even some listed due to variations in chipset tolerances between different manufactures). Berry's version of AIXGL does not seem to support the desktop 3D cube effect.
