I don't currently have any version of Linux
installed mainly because I can't use a larger
mouse pointer. Has anybody tried XPDE and
if so does it have larger pointers?

    Thump, in response to the comment you left on that page:

    tar.gz is a gziped tarball

    gunzip file.tar.gz

    then

    tar -xf file.tar

    to decompress it.

    As for the image, I get a white page...

    thats cause the screen shot is the background rather then a picture inserted on the page.

    and wow! thats a linux i would deffinatly use!

    I get it.

    I love how it's ALMOST Windows, how the background is ALMOST Bliss.jpg...

    However I think I'll just stick with KDE when I'm in Linux.

    Yea I admit it may be a bit heavy, but if I'm on a slow machine or a low end video system then I just set everything to be bland and not all translucent.

    Anyway, it is a nice desktop environment.

    im not sure if this works for every os, but i know in slackware you can just do tar zxvpf (tarball name) instead of doing the gunzip then the tar

    I highly recommend using tar anyway. For gzipped tarballs, "tar -xzf" is usually the way to go. You usually don't nee the "-" but sometimes you'll get errors. I haven't seen a GNU/Linux distribution that didn't include tar, so generally this is the ideal method for extracting.
