Myah Linux is a CD-based operating system that loads its system files directly into RAM, resulting in a fast and seamless experience without the need for installation.
Myah stands apart from other Linux-based Live CDs by including programs you are likely to use frequently in daily life. To minimize confusion for Windows users, the program names have been changed to more familiar terms. Myah boots up on its own in the main administrative account called Root, giving the user full rights.
The KDE desktop that comes with Myah is easy to use, with a great set of utilities. Control Center allows you to tune the system as you like, while K3b is a powerful, easy-to-use CD burning program. Firefox makes browsing the internet a breeze, and NVU is included for website creation, enabling professional-looking web pages without learning HTML.
Myah includes Open Office for office software, Realplayer for media, Gimp for working with photos, and Kopete for instant messaging, among many other programs all located in a simple and easy-to-use menu.
Myah OS 3.0 Dragon is the latest release, built around the KDE 3 desktop. It boasts full multimedia support and a wide range of software packages like KOffice, KTorrent, Amarok, and many more KDE software packages. It brings the best of KDE and Myah OS together in one system, and updates since the release of Box include the use of Metacity instead of Openbox as the window manager and an update to Firefox 3.0.
Overall, Myah Linux Operating System is an excellent free option for those seeking an alternative operating system. Its ease of use and included programs make the transition from Windows or OS X painless, and there is no need to spend money on an expensive operating system when Myah is available for free.
