Favorite Distros

I’ve only been around a very short time, but i have been around the block a few times with on occasion with several distributions. These distros have earned a special place in my heart, and I think deserve to be mentioned.

  1. Ubuntu! - I can always count on Ubuntu to succeed.
  2. Debian - Just perfect.
  3. Crunchbang - Pure openbox awesomeness.
  4. Opengeu - They really did E17 quite right.
  5. Linux Mint xfce - Very nicely made and thought out.
  6. Linux Mint KDE - This is only KDE distro i’m listing since i just love how they did this one.
  7. Arch Linux - Great Learning experience.
  8. Wolvix - Nice and small, just what the doctor ordered.
  9. Minimal Ubuntu - I love using the command line don’t you?
  10. Damn Small Linux - The name speaks itself.
  11. Slitaz - Beautifully small 25mbs?!

    A new Cooking LiveCD ISO image, providing huge changes from the stable release, is now available.

    SliTaz now uses the highly configurable Openbox as its default window manager. It also uses the latest versions of the GNU C library and GTK+ toolkit. In fact, most of the major packages have been updated.

    Auto-mounting of removable media, such as USB flash drives, is available.

    Software packages can now be easily managed through the graphical SliTaz Packages Manager. There are nearly 600 packages on the repositories providing tremendous scope for expansion.

    The LiveCD now offers: Lua, the programming language; Searchmonkey, a fast, real-time desktop search engine; Hardinfo, the system profiler and benchmarker; LXTask, the lightweight task manager; password and clipboard managers; and Firefox 3.0 RC1.

    This version will be showcased at the LinuxDays 2008 Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, 21-22 May 2008.

    Please check it out. It has lots of goodies.
