Geek News Central is musing over HP’s rumored plan to create an operating system for it’s own machines, open source flavour (to some degree). I haven’t actually installed or even really used much Vista at all, but it sounds like the experience is enough to make one of the worlds largest hardware vendors look elsewhere. Despite people’s general awareness of OSS and the success of Linux, Microsoft’s marketshare on desktop computers is almost entire. But if HP abandons Windows as their part-and-parcel OS solution..? That could be significant!

So the script-based, make-it-easy-for you installer “Kororaa” for Gentoo Linux has come to the end of it’s days. Chris spent a lot of time working on it and managed to develop a sizable community around the software. I know he also learned a lot about open source software and everything that comes with it (Specifically those pesky video diver licenses..) and a lot of people learned with him. Since there now are more comprehensive solutions available for easily installing Gentoo, Chris and Molly have decided to stop development.

So, goodbye Kororaa, but thanks for the good (and easy!) times with Gentoo!
