Fastest OS on the world its Puppy 5 Lucid

Fastest OS on the world its Puppy 5 Lucid: Linux2u.co.cc
This is first review of Puppy 5 lucid which is Ubuntu based. It is the fastest OS I used ever,it feels better than DSL.So I am going to share my Experience with you.
Screen Shots-





My Test Machine:

AMD64 3000+ Processor
MSI Motherboard
512 DDR II Ram
ESPON C 58 Printer
Samsung Monitor.

Installation:

I took a iso image from internet it was about 130 MB in size and burned using K3B of PCLunuxOS 2009.1. It was a live CD so I went for a Test Drive.It provides such tones of feature like it has everything from word processor to intant massenger. Booting from Live CD was fast from any other distro's Harddisk boot so imagine how fast it is. Actually it runs fully on RAM that is the secret.



What’s New In This Release
Quickpet is a great addition to Puppy Linux that lets you easily add more programs and drivers with one click. You can access Quickpet by clicking on the icon on the desktop.
The Quickpet menu is broken down into the following categories of applications (pets):
Popular Pets
GIMP
Pwidgets
Audacity
Songbird
Wine
Clan Bomber
Internet Pets
Firefox
Seamonkey
Chromium
Opera
Thunderbird
Kompozer
Useful Pets
Lxmusic Versatile Music Player
Dia Diagram Editor
Cinelerra Video Editing
JRE Java Runtime Environment
Foxit Reader
Inkscape
Drivers
Radeon HD
Nvidia 195
Update
Lucid Puppy Update

Bottom Line: 
Easy Install to hard disk is not there,an expert can only cofigure its boot loader.

Final words:
Puppy 5 is a tremendous success. The boot sequence has been improved; it looks nicer, more polished and is more streamlined. The desktop is even more refined. You get tons of great programs. Then, there's Quick pet. Everything works out of the box, including Wireless, Samba, multimedia playback. All of this in just 130MB.

Whats New in Fedora 13

Whats New in Fedora 13: Cellguru
The Fedora Project is a Red-Hat-sponsored and community-supported open source project. It is also a proving ground for new technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat products.


Screen Shot Fedora 13:

What's New in Fedora 13 :
  • 20-second boot time - from the moment you turn on the computer to the login screen; shutdown times were also reduced;
  • Default EXT4 install - the Fedora team took quite a bold step as the installation now defaults to this powerful new filesystem; experimental Btrfs support is also available;
  • New artwork - beautifully designed from boot to the desktop: birds, wavy ribbons and dark blues are part of the new theme;
  • KDE 4.2 - the latest and greatest K Desktop Environment with all its eye-candy included
  • GNOME 2.26.1 - though there are no major changes, users will notice Brasero as the default CD/DVD burning tool, some minor interface tweaks, improved filesharing, better Microsoft Outlook support in Evolution and more;
  • Xfce 4.6 - many new features make the lightweight desktop environment much more efficient and production-ready;
  • Automatic Fonts & Mime Installer - enabling third-party programs automatically install required fonts, codecs or clipart;
  • Fingerprint reading - devices that provide this feature are supported in Fedora 11 out of the box and configuring them can be easily done through the Authentication Configuration utility;
