BTW, I am using Omega 11 in a Virtualbox OSE instance and it runs well there!

Thanks for the reviews.
I really enjoy your reviews of lightweight distros. I have a msi wind running Crunchbang Linux 9.04 and I am really satisfied. Pretty fast and with fairly full desktop functionality.
I would like to read a review of gOS (http://www.thinkgos.com/index.html). Also a review on the Zenwalk would be nice (http://www.zenwalk.org).
Thank you.
Please review Sabayon. I am interested in reading your opinion about it.

The current version is 4.2, but version 5.0 will be ready for 2009-08-09. Thank you!
Hi, I so far love your blog. Your reviews seem to be pretty fair, and cover a lot of detail without getting bogged down in things common among distros. It’s a great site for people who like to distro hop (who doesn’t?).
I’d like to see the latest openSUSE reviewed some time. Although I’d dabbled in dual booting before hand, one of my first cold-turkey Linux experiences was with Suse 10.1. That put me off Suse for a long time, and almost put me off Linux. I’d love to see how Suse is going now.
I’d like to see a review of PCLinuxOS. It’s consistently listed in the top 10 at distrowatch. I’ve used several variations of it (Kde, Gnome, XFCE and minimal-versions) and it’s a well-put-together distro, in my opinion. It’s targeted to new linux converts and focuses on being easy to use with minimal tweaking. Give it a spin!
Greetings Jim. I stumbled across your site from a link posted by the Download Squad regarding your Hannah Montanna Linux review (Oh dear god), and was pleasantly surprised to read your well-thought out reviews and insights.
My request is this : A review (or basic overview) of Enlightenment-using distros/remasters. I know of two, eLive (which I have just downloaded and will try soon) and OpenGEU (which is an Enlightenment-using remaster of Ubuntu 9.04). I think that Enlightenment has enormous potential as part of a lightweight distro, and seems to be far more user-friendly than either IceWM, XFCE or Fluxbox.
A simple overview list (or ‘Best Of’ listing with brief summaries) would be useful to introduce people to this window manager.
Cheers, and keep up the good work!
Hello I’m poor and have been given a Pentium III PC which I thought would be of no use. A friend said to give this linux stuff a go and installed something called teenpup linux on it. I’m getting use to using it and thought others might like to try it as well. Can you please review it as my friends want to know more about it and I can’t provide them with any information on it.
I’m adding gNewSense to the list……..
