Peppermint OS One
Hardware Requirements & Installation
Hardware Requirements
Here’s what you’ll need to run Peppermint OS One:
i386 or derivative processor (AMD64 and x86_64 are fine as well)
256 MB of RAM (possible it works with as little as 192, but not positive)
4 GB hard drive space (this is an overestimate just for good measure)
Installation
The Peppermint OS One .iso file weighs in at a very petite 427.5 MB. That’s quite small in comparison to some of the other desktop distros.
It uses the same installer as Ubuntu, which means it’s fast and easy. My install took less than 15 minutes.
I noticed that there was no slideshow while the install completed. That’s unfortunate as that is a great opportunity to teach people about what a distro has to offer.

Superb distro! I love Mint, and PeppermintOS is a fantastic LXDE distribution. Lubuntu/Mint combination, super!
The wallpaper would fit best a distro called CinammonOS. :-)
I have gOS 8.04.2 or whatever the latest update is and it’s on my Gateway laptop. It is one of the oldest of the early distros that started experimenting with the Web and the cloud. Maybe I ought to replace it with this Peppermint OS. I’ll consider it. gOS has actually been a pretty good OS for me these past couple of years.
So if I add Mozilla Prism, Google Docs, and Dropbox to my Ubuntu install, do I have a cool “cloud OS” ?
Wait, for that matter, I could get an even cooler “cloud OS” by adding Google Docs, a VPN, and an online storage service to Windows Vista and I’d be living in the cloud!
[...] review on slashdot– I’ve covered a lot of remastered versions of Ubuntu since DLR launched. But, every once in a while, I bump into one that is particularly interesting to review. Peppermint OS One is definitely in that category. [...]
Looks interesting though some parts (such as links to Hulu, Last.FM, and Pandora) are useless for non US users. Still, an interesting idea in a “cloud OS”.
why the hell are you watching a video of a squirrel being skinned ?
I installed Peppermint Os today. In the past I used PcLinuxOS XFCE which I found too slow on my Thinkpad R40e. In the few hours I am using it I am very surprised about this fast distro. It looks also very stable and has all the new updates including Firefox 3.6.3. I am very enthusiastic and going to use it for a while. Therefore I want tgive the developer a compliment and advice others to use this new exciting distro.
I was about to link to this review, but that was until I saw the YouTube screenshot. Was this really the best YouTube screenshot you could find ?!? I second gino, a previous commenter on this review.
I really hope you can include another YouTube screenshot, because this takes the quality from your Peppermint review.
