for this report. ]

Phat Linux version 3.0
has just been released. It now features KDE and many popular
programs pre-installed.

Phat Linux is a full Linux distribution that runs on an MS-DOS
partition. This eliminates the need for users to create a partition
for Linux, a process that keeps many new people from using
Linux.

Phat Linux is maintained by two 15 year old High School
students, Cameron Cooper, and Keith Broere, who felt that Linux was
too hard to install. Phat Linux hopes to bring many new users into
the Linux world.

The website for Phat Linux is http://www.phatlinux.com.
