[News] Experiences in Debian, Pardus, and PC-BSD

The hardcore route:

Installing Lenny

,----[ Quote ]
| As far as the changes between Lenny and Etch there are a whole lot of them 
| and the official documents on the Debian site will be more specific than I 
| can. The kernel that is currently with Lenny is 2.6.26 in my case I have 
| 2.6.26-1-686. The newer kernel has a lot of new features which I found out 
| when compiling a 2.6.26-3-686 kernel last week to see the changes.

The simpler route:

Pardus Linux

| Overall, though, working with Pardus has been a very pleasant surprise so 
| far. A very auspicious start indeed.

PC-BSD: Another Alternative To Linux As A Windows Alternative

,----[ Quote ]
| If PC-BSD is to be a serious contender alongside the Ubuntus, Fedoras, 
| Mandrivas and OpenSUSEs of the computing world, there is still some work to 
| be done on that proclaimed 'ease-of-use' issue.

Review: PC-BSD 1.5  

,----[ Quote ]
| PC-BSD, a strong contender for the top desktop distribution out there, has 
| once again grown, going from version 1.3 to 1.5 in just under a year.  In 
| that time it's grown, prospered, and had it's fair share of growing pains as 
| well.  But version 1.5 is only one subversion up from the previous version 
| 1.4 that we reviewed.  So what makes version 1.5 better than its predecessors 
| and worth a look from us?  Well, let's have a look.

First look at PC-BSD 1.5

,----[ Quote ]
| Compiz Fusion is included in this release and worked really well. There's a 
| menu entry which, when clicked, asks if you'd like to enable it at boot. When 
| clicked, Compiz Fusion is immediately enabled and special effects are 
| available. I didn't suffer any instability or performance issues when using 
| this application, but it did seem to require the restart of X to disable the 
| feature.

My Vietnamese Students used PC-BSD

,----[ Quote ]
| Most of them were successful though all preferred doing their projects in 
| Linux, that is what they told me. The bash shell in PCLinuxOS, according to 
| them, was easier since it told them which directory they were in. In short, 
| they got used to seeing $ /usr/home/guest/Desktop in PCLinuxOS while in 
| PC-BSD, they only saw $. pwd I kept telling them :)
