Why? I took look at it, but the 2 ISOs are only 1.3GB....seems a bit minimalist compared to the main Linux distros.

In another thread you said it was ideal for games, are you talking about running Cedega or native stuff or something else? :?

hi, I'd just like to share this little app: Ava Find

it's great, doesn't take a lot of resources, and has instant results.


This is superb, exactly what I've been looking for all these years. Thank you so much for sharing. :D

I know, this app is great! I had previously installed X1 but it was so slow, a memory hog.

I love that this app keeps a real-time record of new or updated files, that won me, and is basically all I need.

my only complaint is that search isn't very logical, it doesn't accept spaces, you have to insert an asterisk for it to search spaces

Example:
If you want to search for a song called Moloko - sing it back,
typing molo si
will return zero results,
instead, you need to type molo*si

hope I explained myself.


If I need to do a deep search, I load Windows Desktop search, but needs to be updated :S
