"Vixta is a new Linux distribution, first released only last month,
based on the not-yet-released Fedora 8. Its main objective is to emulate
the visual aspects of Microsoft Vista."
http://www.linux.com/feature/120278
Couple of things:
"On the desktop is a Vixta installer, which is the Fedora live CD
installer with no customizations or changes. It walks the user through
configuration steps such as partitioning and setting up filesystems. It
installs a standard system -- no package selection is offered." Doesn't
sound very glowing, and is something we'll run into when F8 ships.
Also:
"No Vixta source code has been made available, but some on the forum
suggested that since the distribution is based on Fedora core, whose
source is readily available, it isn't necessary -- though this is not
true <http://www.linux.com/articles/55285>."
Do we have someone that looks into cases like that?
