[News] [Rival] Review of Linutop, PC-BSD 1.3

SlashGear Review: Linutop's fanless Linux PC

,----[ Quote ]
| Much to my shame, Linux is something of a mystery to me.  Actually,
| I think they should teach at least the basics of it in school 
| computing classes, alongside English and at least one foreign 
| language (though don't ask me about my French abilities either), but 
| this is neither time nor place for my election campaigning.  And so I 
| look on with maudlin self-disgust at promises of Dell laptops with 
| Linux pre-installed, or clever thumb-drives and Live CDs that offer
| a chance to fiddle with the OS without ruining your everyday copy of
| Windows; I inevitably fold when faced with some sort of command
| prompt.  Perhaps, then, you?ll wonder why I was so keen to try the 
| Linutop, a surprisingly compact and silent diskless computer that
| runs a specially tweaked version of xubuntu.

PC-BSD 1.3 [Review]

,----[ Quote ]
| The lack of something to match up to YaST or the Mandriva/PCLinuxOS 
| Control Center means that users would have to resort to the command
| line to solve some problems or change some settings, such as the 
| maximum monitor resolution. For that reason, I feel that PCLinuxOS 
| is the better choice if you're looking for simplicity and ease of
| use. If the flaws I found could be ironed out, however, then PC-BSD
| is well-deserving of a second look.
