Comparison and Review of Xubuntu vs. Manjaro (Arch)(Xfce) on a Netbook

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: January 13, 2013
Story: My mother works at a pawn shop, and therefore she gets a discount. And when my laptop failed (HDD) I needed something to do school work on before buying my college laptop, so I bought a netbook for $30. Yes I realized I could just buy a new HDD, but my laptop was falling apart anyways. This brought up the question, which OS to run on it? I was going to try Lubuntu (for the first time), but seeing as 12.10 wasn't out yet I decided to go with Xubuntu. That's what brought me to this point. Test Bench: HP Mini 110-3510NR Dual Core 1.66GHz Intel Atom CPU N455 Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 1GB DDR3 Ram (will upgrade to 2GB) 250GB HDD Dell/Broadcom BCM4313 Wireless And I think that's everything relevant. NOTE: Same kernel was in use in Both OSes Experience: Being a netbook, I didn't expect much at all so I started out with the default Xubuntu 12.10 install. From there I went on to install all the codecs and other proprietary software ubuntu doesn't carry by default so

An honest review of GhostBSD from a devout Linux user

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: July 17, 2011
I had long been interested in BSD ever since watching Revolution OSand doing some research into the history of Gnu/Linux. So on the BSD's Wiki i saw the link to FreeBSD website, but no GUI installer deterred me at the time. And very recently I heard about GhostBSD from ThisWeekinLinux (Great guy and show). GhostBSD is basically FreeBSD with the GNOME environment and a GUI installer. The project is maintained by a small group of developers. Since you normally see KDE on Clone BSD distros, i decided to give this one a try. I downloaded the iso (2.0), and after some bumps with UNetBootin, finally burned it to a dvd. I also downloaded PCBSD for a method of comparison (since this is my first try at BSD)I booted up from the DVD, just to find myself waiting for an incredibly long time, a normal Linux live DVD will be up and running in 5 minutes tops, but GhostBSD took 10-15 Minutes (So does PCBSD). So i did some research and found out that this was normal for BSD, and i must say that is reall

LXer: Bodhi Linux Review Incredibly Good, Lightweight, Very Minimal Ubuntu Derivative

location: linuxquestions.com - date: January 26, 2011
Published at LXer: Bodhi Linux is NOT yet another Ubuntu based Linux distro. Bodhi Linux is among a very few number of Ubuntu based distros that run Enlightenment window manager instead of the popular alternatives like GNOME or KDE. I had never used anything other than GNOME, KDE and XFCE desktops before and I have to tell you, my experience with Enlightenment desktop has been a completely refreshing one. Read More...

LXer: Linux Mint vs Pinguy OS Review

location: linuxquestions.com - date: January 3, 2011
Published at LXer: Linux Mint is one of the oldest, and arguably one of the best-developed, spin-offs of Ubuntu. Over the last few weeks, I've been seeing more articles talk about another similar spin-off of Ubuntu called Pinguy OS, and I thought, "Another Ubuntu derivative? How many more does the world need?" But then I saw that these articles were placing Pinguy OS on the same level of Linux Mint. I figured this warranted a full-on comparison test. Read More...

Review of OpenSuse 12.3 64bit

location: linuxquestions.com - date: March 21, 2013
I had been a distro hopper for a while. I never quite found a Linux that got it all right. I also have preferred KDE for a desktop environment. I know there are a bunch of low resource environments. But I have a very powerful computer, so the KDE overhead is irrelevant. KDE 4.8 finally got to where it should have been the whole time. Since what I do with my computer is very involved with business, I also did not want to try some of the lesser known distros. Mint Linux has always been pretty solid, but their implementation of KDE always appeared to be an afterthought. Kubuntu was okay, but I didn't like it as much as Mint. Any of the other distros with KDE were either too obscure or not well polished. It was a tough decision a while back to choose Mint 13 and 14 KDE 64 bit over OpenSuse 12.1 and 12.2. Let me just say Ubuntu is weird. Forget that distro. They've decided to go their own way and throw everybody else under the bus. Yep, I also liked Debian, but that thing took hours and hou
