GNOPPIX for GNOME Lovers

Last week, I tried GNOPPIX, aLive CD based upon Ubuntu and it uses GNOME as desktop environment. Now it comes with GNOME 2.12, updates, lot of improvements and an attractive GUI. It has some free software related articles also. I prefer GNOME for its clean and simple interface. I don't like all the eye-candy like WinXP stuff that KDE comes with. And when we took hardware requirements as a parameter, KDE requires more RAM and CPU speed than GNOME. So GNOME is little bit faster than KDE. Now it comes with more features and gr8 GUI. But the only bad news for me is, I didnt find GNU/Emacs in that LiveCD :( I dont know other editors. What my mindset is , "Editor means Emacs".
Why I choose GNOME?
I use GNOME in my HOME. U ?

Partition Magic

In my system when I installed RedHat Linux, I left out some partitions
as free space. I couldnt change it to specified filesystem. Some
months before, I got partition magic from shanoof. But I didnt know
how to use it. I used Ubuntu Install CD and edit my partition table
without installing ubuntu yesterday. My partition table changed
without much difficulty. Yeah! really it is a partition magic.

+2

The public examination is started from last week. It is the redirection place for them
and their score determines their future. But some fellows arranged meetings in public
places. Even though no meeting was there, they played some already recorded speeches and
songs related to their parties. It causes Noise Pollution, which disturbs students studies. These meetings are conducted in main roads. So people couldnt cross the place easily. They want to impress people. But it irritates us. All these drama's are played only for the coming election. I pray for the students good results.
