Please review Zorin OS.
sidux 2010-01 Preview 1 is out with the expected release in 1-2 weeks. I would like to see this one visited again. Can we review it with emphasis on what it offers as opposed to the graphics, appearances, and that kind of stuff? That’s not where this is strong. It is strong in being fast, current, and a developer’s dream, also VERY FAST installing and running in Virtual environments.
May be you are interested in review aLinux (formerly Peanut Linux).

Hi jim.
The new release of Parsix Linux is out.
Its version is 3.5 and code name Frankie.
I would be glad to see a review of this distro in your blog.
I’ve read your review about version 2.0 and 3.0 of this distro and waiting for this one. Especially comparing this with the well known Ubuntu Lucid Lynx.
(All if possible
)
Thanks

would enjoy seeing a review of lubuntu 10.04, the ultra lite version of ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx. it uses lxde and is supposedly much lighter and faster than xubuntu and may greatly benefit those with older machines.
Like Jim I would also like a Lubuntu review.
I am a member of the lubuntu team so I would like to know what to improve.
How about looking at this Chinese variation of Ubuntu: Ylmf OS? It has an english version. I’m just curious at the chinese effort! Maybe there is a surprise here for all of us.
How about SliTAZ 3.0, a VERY small (30 MB) ISO image that builds into about a 100 MB image if installed. I know of only one system that is smaller in size – Tiny Core is about 10 MB, but SliTAZ rivals distributions in the 100-200 MB size range in its capabilities. This one is worth a look, to review based on what it can do compared to other very small distros. Amazing.
Another amazing piece of software is the fully functional sidux. The Preview 1 release of 2010-01 is now available, and the KDE SC 4.4.4 code is coming into Debian Sid, so we ought to see the final release of this distribution with a VERY current release of KDE plus a really stable release of XFCE.
Even though sidux is a full featured system, it is amazingly fast and nimble to run live or to install. Runs GREAT in a VM!
Can’t wait to see what others think about it.
sidux 2010-01 has now been released with KDE SC 4.4.4, a very current sidux 2.6.34 kernel, a solid XFCE desktop alternative, fast, highly compressed bootable image, great hardware support. One of the very best distributions for the experienced Debian user community, still my every day system.
Hello Jim, I would see a review of the new Pardus 2009.2. You write a review of the old 2009. But they have released 2 versions since then.
And now they got a live cd to:
