Description:
LiveW is a Linux OS based on openSUSE (11.1 atm) which is targeted at warez users. It includes a range of programs and tools for downloading, running and viewing warez. It also has many things pre-installed and configured which you normally don't find in Linux distros such as Ubuntu, openSUSE, etc including Flash, PlayOnLinux, Wine, lots of codecs, Microsoft core fonts, working and pre-configured sub-pixel font rendering for LCD monitors etc. You don't have to remove Windows or install it in order to use, you can just boot from the CD (Live CD). Though if you like you can still easily install it to your harddrive after you booted the CD, and I would recommend doing so. Another thing worth noting is: no viruses, trojans, keyloggers, BSOD's whatsoever! However, you can still get Rick Roll'd.

Changes since the last version:
- Changed Firefox default theme to one that looks more like the Windows version.
- Fixed issue in Firefox where it would not select the correct program for opening files.
- Added some Firefox 'Scene Bookmarks' (More will be added later)
- Pre-installed Firefox add-ons: AdBlock Plus, GreaseMonkey, KDST, Im4ge, IC Tools.
- Added Ndiswrapper package.
- Some other small config tweaks here and there.
Known Issues:
- In some cases the splash screen doesn't show while booting.
- Sometimes the system reverts to the default openSUSE theme. If this should happen you can easliy change it again by going to Computer > Control Center > Appearance and changing the theme to LiveW 0.1.
- Some of the openSUSE art, branding and icons hasn't been replace yet.
- This is an ALPHA release, other issues and bugs should be expected.
- Additional Firefox Add-ons, Bookmarks and Plugins.
- Homebrew scene apps and some custom programs by me (for warez users).
- A Peer-2-Peer client.
- Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager.
- Some other stuff which I can't think of now.
Minimum system requirements:
- Single core AMD Athlon64 or 64 bit Pentium 4 processor
- 256MB RAM, 512MB is highly recommended
- 3GB HDD (for installation)
I would personally also recommend a recent ATI or nVidia card.
