Minty 4.0 Fresh
,----[ Quote ]
| While there are some Linux users who still insist on running free software
| exclusively, a growing number are more than happy to mix and match
| open-source and proprietary software. For these latter users, Ubuntu
| 7.10-based Mint 4.0 is a distribution made in heaven.

Bootcamp 503: Put a Puppy in your PC, part 5
,----[ Quote ]
| Puppy Linux on a CD is all well and good, and the best option for
| resurrecting most desktop PCs, but what happens if you are out and about with
| your laptop, it fails and it is one of those super slim models that do not
| have a built in CD/DVD drive? Here's another scenario; you are travelling
| light, or leave home or the office in a rush and you can't take a PC with you
| but at some point you need to work on some documents, or spreadsheets, access
| the net or send and receive some emails.
|
| In both cases Puppy has the answer.

PclinuxOS, radically simple: Plug ‘n Play
,----[ Quote ]
| The article I am writing is about PCLinuxOS, but probably is not very
| different for other Linux distributions. A few weeks ago I installed
| PCLinuxOS for the first time and was impressed by the ease of stabilizing my
| internet connection and the speed of installation. Since that first day
| PCLinuxOS managed to surprise me several other times.

Another Day Another Distro – Part 4 – PCLinuxOS 2007

PCLinuxOS: Linux Distribution
,----[ Quote ]
| One notable difference from Mandriva is the program used to install
| extra software. We found this much easier to use and includes useful
| software such as graphics drivers.
|
| Unlike some other distributions, PCLinuxOS can play back
| proprietary multimedia files (including wma, mp3, mpg, rm,
| mov) without having to install extra software. DVD playback
| software is not included but can be installed with the
| standard installation tool.

Review: PcLinuxOS 2007
,----[ Quote ]
| While PcLinuxOS does still have a bit of growing to do, out of all the
| linux distributions out there, I'd easily rate this one as the best in
| every way because of all that it does, how easy it is to use, how ready
| it is to use out of the box, and most especially in the area of
| appeasing both camps, the new user and the experienced user.

PClinuxOS 2007.0 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| I am a Kubuntu user since version 6.06. However, that hasn't made
| me blindly consider (k)ubuntu to be the best linux distro; I am
| always open to newcomers. In recent days, PClinuxOS 2007.0 was
| released, and quickly hit the top of of the distrowatch charts.
| I decided to download it and give this relatively new distribution
| a text run on my Acer Aspire 5050 laptop, nicknamed the geebee.

Linux Mint 4.0
,----[ Quote ]
| I was very impressed with the last version of Linux Mint. There were very few
| things I didn't like about it, and they mostly dealt with missing packages. I
| was excited when I heard of the new version to see if any of my beefs had
| been addressed. I'm also interested to see if Linux Mint can keep up the bar
| they set with 3.2. Here we go.

A look at the Ubuntu 7.10 based newly minted version of Linux for use as my
daily use system
,----[ Quote ]
| Mint 4.0, and its underlying Ubuntu 7.10 may be bleeding edge (2.6.22 kernel)
| but so far it is stable, fast, pretty, and high function as well. The only
| reason I can see why this would not be a good enterprise laptop / desktop OS
| for everyone would be that pesky amount of time it takes to certify new OS
| releases by the central support team.

Introducing Linux Mint 4.0 ‘Daryna’
,----[ Quote ]
| You’ve probably heard of Linux Mint from some blog or RSS feed but never
| looked into it thinking it’s just another distribution which can never
| outtake Ubuntu, the distribution you’re currently using. In this case, you’re
| in for a big surprise mister! Linux Mint IS Ubuntu but it also provides some
| extra goodies and a brilliant, gorgeous and sexy interface. So basically, you
| should think about Linux Mint as Ubuntu with a twist. And not just any other
| twist, a BIG twist, one that will make you erase any distribution you have
| and install Linux Mint instead because it simply ROCKS!

A Date with Daryna
,----[ Quote ]
| I can honestly say that Daryna is yet another successful distribution release
| of Mint. It is highly recommended for those who want a hassle-free Linux
| distribution because of its exceptional hardware and software support,
| ease-of-use, and ever growing online community that can provide some
| technical assistance. I can also recommend Mint 4.0 to newbies as it can be
| painlessly configured without even touching a CLI. As a final point, Daryna
| undoubtedly maintained or even improved Mint’s natural elegance.

Puppy Linux grows bigger teeth
,----[ Quote ]
| Even in the less than 100MB ISO, Puppy 3.00 packs an application for every
| task -- from browsing the Internet and chatting to writing reports and
| spreedsheets to watching and ripping DVDs, configuring network devices, and
| monitoring firewalls. If you need still more, Puppy 3.00 can also install
| every application available in Slackware 12's repository. These benefits more
| than balance out the distro's minor quirks.

| Otherwise, all the applications and the system as a whole offered good
| performance and stable operation. It could be a wonderful start, especially
| for anyone wishing to be a little different, someone needing to save space
| and resources, or those requiring a portable solution. It'd be really great
| on a desktop with minimal input, and could be useful on a laptop with a bit
| more. It may not be the prettiest at the party, but it has a great
| personality.

An in-depth look at Puppy Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| I've discussed the features of Puppy Linux in this article to show its
| potential uses. But I've left out one vital fact -- Puppy Linux is just plain
| fun. The friendly interface, easy-to-use wizards and bundled how-to's are
| part of this appeal, but it goes beyond this, into how easily you can tailor
| or even remaster the system. Puppy is an engaging system that comes with the
| opportunity to participate in a vibrant user community.

Taking Puppy Linux for a Walk
,----[ Quote ]
| The two main uses for Puppy Linux (or any Linux live CD) are to:
|
| * Rescue files from the host PC's hosed hard drive or perform various
| maintenance tasks (like imaging that drive)
| * Compute on a machine without leaving a trace—like browser history,
| cookies, documents or any other files—behind on the internal hard drive
