After the system has finished booting Phat Linux, you may login as 'root' with password 'phat'. When it's all done, launch X to get KDE 2 as your Desktop Environment. Have a look at a few other Phat Linux screenshots . It's definitely faster than I would have hoped for. Phat Linux seems to be based on Linux-Mandrake with kernel 2.2.15mdk which isn't a bad thing at all.
Mandrake puts a lot of hard work into making their distribution as user-friendly as possible.
Although Phat Linux, of course, will never be the choice of a full-time Linux user, I believe Phat is superb for Windows users wanting to have a look at Linux. As mentioned earlier, it is very easy to install and it takes less than 10 minutes to complete an installation. Post-configuration shouldn't be much of a problem either, unless you have very new hardware. Especially some new graphics cards could pose a problem, as Phat Linux v3.3 ships with the ageing XFree86 3.3.6. Expect the next release of Phat Linux to ship with XFree86 4.0.x.
