Enjoy the blog? Feel free to leave a tip by buying me a cup of coffee. Thanks!
OpenSUSE GNOME please.
Hey Jim, Can you do a review of PCLinuxOS. Just curious what your take is on it – especially for newbies. Thanks.
Hey Jim, glad to see DLR still going strong :). I’d be interested in your take on the Natty Narwhal Ubuntu release, specifically what you think of the new Unity interface. Especially since you are notoriously a mac guy and the Unity interface is very… “dock” like ;).
Hey ,
I known this isn’t really a desktop linux distribution but can you review Tiny Core. By the way great website.
Review Omega Linux 14, please. It is an interesting Fedora Remix (all the non-free codecs are installed by default). It is an alternative to Fusion Linux…
I would like you’ll review my distro eQuityOS, remastered from Ubuntu 10.10.
I made it with passion and I think some users could aprreciate it.
Thanks my friend

Please review my distro, Swift Linux. Swift Linux 0.1.0 is now available at http://www.swiftlinux.org and based on the new antiX Linux M11.

Hey Jason! Congratulations on the GREAT job you have done, both with your Web site and with the latest version of Swift Linux! I am looking forward to trying out the latest version, and *just for fun*, I am going to grab the Taylor Swift variation and install it on my Lenovo 3000 Series Y410 laptop.
I have already grabbed the latest antiX M11.0 “full” version, have it installed on my Gateway 17″ portable, and I was experimenting with my own customized version of antiX “core” today, which I also have installed on my Gateway. It will be nice to have your implementation installed on the Lenovo, and even before using it, I am confident in what you have produced, based on the previous versions that I have used. I look forward to using it, hope that others will try it out, and I hope that Jim gives it a nice review on Desktop Linux Reviews, or at least a “Quick Look” review in Eye on Linux!
I’ll let you know what I think of it once I give it a try, but I am optimistic about it already. Thanks for sharing with all of us!
How about writing a review for USU Linux http://learnfree.eu/ ?
It is Bulgarian Ubuntu-based educational distribution (but it’s not only for Bulgarians!).
It has three variants
– USU Desktop – includes MANY educational apps (way more than Edubuntu). It’s not only useful for students in universities, but also for schools and kids (includes Gcompris and other similar apps)
– USU Mini – it’s for the regular users – with working out of the box experience
– USU Netbook – optimized for netbooks
All three versions of USU include a lot of tweaks and also some useful custom built apps (like LiveUSB Install – better than unetbootin and usb-creator).
One key highlight of USU is that unlike many spin-offs of Ubuntu, it has carefully selected list of applications (not just “install everything from the repos”), custom GTK theme, very complete icon theme based on elementary (has icons for a lot of apps), and more…
I’m one of the developers of USU actually.
Would be nice to see a review of Meego 1.2
Hello,
Would you consider to review Crux Linux? it is for advanced users.
Thank you
Hello
I would like to see a real Mageia1 review. And especially aspects of internet connections.
I saw this in the Mageia forum:
The problem with Free DVD
“When I tried Mageia beta and RC on my old laptop (Dell Inspiron 5150), they worked fine; but I didn’t realize that these DVD included proprietary firmware. When I installed Mageia1 DVD, with only Free software inside, Internet couldn’t be connected, neither by wire (Broadcom BCM 4401) nor by Wifi (Ralink RT73). The Mageia Wiki says that after installing the DVD, you can download the Nonfree packages, of course; except for the network packages !
To fetch the missing packages on Internet with another PC, and then to copy and install them on the laptop isn’t simple for me. I succeeded, but it took me several hours !
I don’t understand the Mageia policy, why only Free software on the DVD ? You can say: It doesn’t work, but it’s Free ! I would prefer : It’s not Free, but it works !
This rule of no nonfree sofware inside the DVD shouldn’t apply to the internet connection.”
So it would be interesting to see a real review that bring up all aspects. So far I have not see an article about Mageia that have bring up this issue.
Thanks/John
Review Kororaa, please. I have tried the KDE Live-DVD: it is an interesting Fedora-based distro.
Review Openxange, please. It is a Fedora remix based on KDE. The 2011.06 version is based on Fedora 14.
