This Linux Distro will change your Little Linux Laptop in a full force multimedia machine!

Description:
A very powerfull and complete distrubution for your Little Linux Laptop!. 3MX replaces the normal Little Linux Laptop OS and is a very user-friendly operating system that comes with a LOT of pre-installed software such as: Firefox 3 web browser, VLC Media Player, Transmission, Medit (HTML editor), Dillo web browser, Wifi Stumbler (for finding of wireless hotspots), Pidgin chat, Xchat, games such as Barrage and Tux Puck, a Nintendo Gameboy emulator, different Wallpaper and menu icons, Htop (process monitor) , Abiword, etc etc etc..

Remarks:
This complete recovery only works on Little Linux Laptops that use a .IMG as the recovery file, like the Trendtac and the 3k Razorbook. If you are not sure which recovery file your Little Linux Laptop needs, please contact your retailer where you bought your little linux laptop from and ask him before trying this recovery!

This release is not for the light hearted, it still needs a lot of work done to it so do not expect everything to work properly. Things that need sorting are: Automatic networking not working; you need to manually connect. Automatic USB mounts not working; you will need to manually mount external devices. The windows manager sometimes does not load straight away, so you need to run matchbox-window-manager.

If you have any questions or remarks about 3MX Linux please visit the following sites / forums:

The 3MX thread @ Ark2Webdesign A LOT of info & anwsers from 3MX creator Matt O.

The 3MX thread @ HYVES.com Also a lot of info & anwsers from Matt O.
