Request A Review

Is there a Linux distribution you’d like to see reviewed? A Linux app you’d like to see covered? Post a note in the comments below and I’ll check it out. I can’t promise to review every app or distribution but I’ll definitely check out your recommendation.

Thanks in advance for your review suggestions.

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for the great distro review suggestions, I’m bookmarking them. I will try to get to them here and there along with the other stuff that comes out.

    Note though that I did some of the ones suggested fairly recently when I was writing for ExtremeTech. If you don’t see your review here on DLR then you might want to check my writing clips/opinions site to see if I already wrote a review of it:

    I will definitely do another review of the ones I did on ET once a major new version has been released of those distros. But give the ET reviews a peek to see if what you’re looking for was covered there. I left ET at the end of June so everything after that is here on DLR.

    How about a review of yet another unknown – but this one is based on an old classic. It is salix 13.0, based on Slackware 13.0. It has the same rock solid stability as Slackware, but instead of defaulting to KDE, salix offers the XFCE desktop, and it has three ways to configure: full, where it installs all 500 MB of packages, minimal, where it installs enough to get up and running, but leaves the rest to you, so you can customize, or core, where it installs only the core components.

    It claims to install in around five minutes, and based on my quick test, it seemed to do just that. I have not given it a full evaluation yet, but it looks like a very fast alternative to Slackware. It uses the same ancient, but ultra reliable Slackware installer, but it configures everything, including X, for you.

    See if you like it; distro lovers may want to look at this one.

    I am interested in reading your opinion about Hymera Linux version 20090910. It is an italian Linux distro based on Debian (also available in English).

    Hello Jim,
    Since a while I am reading your reviews with great interest. Now I am looking for still unknown distros with potential possibilities. I saw on Distrowatch that Kahel OS has been placed on the waiting list. Then I looked on their website and it looks very promising. Will you review Kazhel OS. Thank you for your efforts. With friendly greetings from Holland.

    I would like to read a review on Scientific Linux (it is a derivative of RHEL). In particular, I am interested to know if this distro is adaptable to a desktop use (is it possible to install proprietary multimedia codecs?). Thank you in advance. :wink:

    As molen noted, KAHEL OS is very promising….It is based on ARCH LINUX and it uses GNOME as its desktop environment……It how Zenwalk is to Slackware…KAHEL OS IS ARCHLINUX MADE EASY…..Just visit their website and you will understand how well maintained it is….

    I haven’t seen any good review about it when i googled about it….SO IF YOU ARE DOING A REVIEW ABOUT IT it will be USEFUL FOR LINUX ENTHUSIASTS….
