Pinguy OS 11.04 Review - Linux Distro Reviews

A review of the feature-packed Pinguy OS 11.04. Another Ubuntu derivative that is sticking with Gnome 2.32 to provide a fully-functional and feature rich desktop experience. It's ideal for desktop powerhouse, as minimal tweaking is required. All needs that you could possibly have are covered here, and an impressive array of tools/utilities abound for a reasonable 1.5 - 1.7 GB download depending on architecture. Definitely rivals Mac OS X on looks, functionality, and usability out of the box.

Resource intensive, but ready for anything.

Fedora 15 Review - Linux Distro Reviews

An in-depth look at Fedora 15 Lovelock, sporting the new stable GNOME 3 desktop and GNOME Shell. Fedora is a well supported distribution, and the fusion of GNOME Shell and Fedora's base creates an innovative, modern and polished desktop for the Linux enthusiast and power user. Definitely a great peek into the future of desktop Linux and it's a substantially widget base than GNOME and GTK 2.x.
Very polished, and arguably much better (think finished) than Unity.

Sorry about the jumps in resolution, not my fault, blame Linpus.

Bodhi Linux v0.1.6 Rc2 Distro Review

2011-08-03T13:36:00.000-07:00

Bodhi Linux v0.1.6 Rc2 Distro Review

Bodhi Linux v0.1.6 Rc2 is a nice looking minimalistic distro which uses Enlightenment desktop environment. Instead cramming your system full of unnecessary programs, Bodhi provides you with just Firefox 4 beta 11 and Synaptic.
You can select the applications you want easily through Synaptic package manager.

Bodhi have supplied a nice easy to use Setup Wizard to give easy customisation of the Enlightenment desktop, allowing you to choose from: Basic, Compiz enabled, Laptop, or Netbook styles. Theres also some nice looking wallpapers/themes supplied.

Enlightenment has very low system requirements making this Distro ideal for older lower spec machines. However its only available in 32bit version, which makes in unsuitable for higher spec 64bit machines.
Its based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Review done in Virtualbox 4.04

Best Linux Distro for a Newbie

http://youtube.com/watch?v=tTZ8C90MRb4

If you've been wanting to try Linux but didn't want to wipe our your current Windows installation or are brand new to the Linux world, this video will introduce you to one of the best Linux Distros out there.

Commentary

Ubuntu is an excellent desktop replacement for people that want to learn more about linux. To be honest though, It's not a very good teacher, and it's honestly too easy. It's much too automated for my tastes. If you're going to use an APT/Synaptic distro, use Debian; Awesome memory management and a rock solid kernel. If you prefer compiling from source, and setting up linux YOUR way, try out Gentoo or Slackware. Also, most debian ( ˈdɛbiən ) users would kill you for your pronunciation,

I'm a IT spec, and I love and use Ubuntu. I would never go with any other distro, or OS for that matter. Everything I once had on Windows, I have running on Linux now, and I've replaced Windows with it. I've had to work on computers and servers running a variety OS's (Win32 & DOS, NetWare, SmoothWall, etc.), & Linux is the most flexible and malleable. I would never veer away from Linux. Fuck Windows.

I am also a newbie as of 4 months ago and agree after all my trials that Ubuntu was by far easiest to install and use coming from a Windows world. Desktop effects is amazing but only if you have a fast enough graphics card! Foe any newbie I strongly suggest reading afew hours in the ubuntu community forum for answers to questions you'll have. One more thing, its best to have your linux computer hooked up to internet as your learning; programs fro ubuntu are installed free via the net.

What is the Beryl Project?

Beryl is an OpenGL accelerated desktop that seeks to provide a free, open source desktop experience to the community that reflects the wishes of the users. Above all else, the project seeks to listen to and respond to the requests of the user base.

Beryl is a combined window manager and composite manager written in C using OpenGL to provide acceleration. It is designed to be highly flexible, extensible, and portable, all the while keeping in mind that the users know how they want their desktops to act better than we do. With Beryl the rather esoteric concept of the computer desktop is brought down to a more human level, allowing for a more native and intuitive understanding of your workspace. To learn more about Beryl and its features visit our Feature Spotlight.

QEMU

QEMU is a fast processor emulator, allowing full virtualization of a PC system within another one. It is free software and was written by Fabrice Bellard. QEMU is a hypervisor and is similar to projects such as Bochs, VMware Workstation and PearPC, but has several features these lack, including increased speed on x86 (through an optional accelerator), and support for multiple architectures in-progress. By using dynamic translation it achieves a reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPUs.
