Myah OS

I have tested Myah OS recently with pretty good results - I won't say it is the best os I have ever used but it is very good. I had tried out the live cd and was impressed so I installed it. However, there are some issues - the Firefox Browser seems to have crazy issues all the time. I tried using other browsers , like Konquerer instead but the results were no better. One example is the Hulu website , when I typed in the address www.hulu.com the Firefox browser shut down on me. This site works fine on my Ubuntu machine using Firefox. I am not entirely sure it is the fault of Myah because the hardware on that machine is weak compared to my Ubuntu PC. Maybe it's the hardware , I can't be sure. I still have to say I have used no better Linux distribution than Ubuntu. I have tried many.

Installing Live Linux

I am always downloading and trying out new Live Linux cd's and sometimes dvd's - it's so fun. Half the time I test one and so much fails to work or impress me - it's the only time I boot it. However, today one of them actually made me split my Puppy Linux Drive in half to make room for an actual hd install - No way - yes Way. I was so impressed with Myah OS that I actuall fired up gparted - shrunk my puppy and installed Myah to my drive. It is very smooth - my YouTube test work - meaning can I play a video and hear sound - yes  I can. It has a nice unique package manager that at least I have never seen before - works very well. Cool Cartoonish looking brightly colored FUN Wallpaper  - I am all about fun!!
It is not all perfect - the software add/remove is somewhat limited - but I found enough of what I needed - everything I installed seemed to place itself in my menu except for streamripper - I have not rebooted yet though - and possibly strearipper might be run from command line? Not sure on that. But , overall - very nice - and worthy of my hd space.
