Chris Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 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.The Symphony OS Project is an Open Source project, not controlled by any business entity, operated by Ryan Quinn and Jason Spisak. In the future we hope to form a non-profit Symphony OS Foundation to further our development goals.More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone finds the author, please tell me as I'd like to thank him for a absolutely brilliant quote.EDIT: Final thoughts on Symphony:Without having much play time with it, I will say I did not like it. I may after using it for a longer period of time, and not just running it from a Live CD. It seemed too simplistic, and oriented for children... If you want to break away from the Microsoft world, try it on Live CD before installing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
