The siduction team, on the other hand, has returned normalcy to the world of Debian Sid-derived distributions, and it is arguably the easiest Sid distribution to work with straight from installation. I’d recommend a review and I’d recommend Sid lovers give it a try. Perhaps not everyone will like it, but those who used to like sidux, the original Kanotix (back when it was Sid-based), and the long lost (back in 2005), but never forgotten, Libranet, along with a Debian Testing (MEPIS derivative) called antiX, are the best distros out there today for those with an intermediate level of experience – which I am assuming represents a significant amount of the readership here.

I may write a blog review of siduction at some point in time, but I’d like to see a nice review of it here in the famous Jim Lynch style. As Rodney D. once said, “Try it, you’ll like it”. You won’t hear, “So I tried it, but I thought I was gonna die”; most of you, with the exception of true beginners and those who simply prefer something OTHER than Debian will find it to install quickly, usually recognizes common hardware, and it runs quite well on anything built within the past 3-5 years.

LM Lisa gave me a positive impression to extent of recommending you to take a look at it when having time to do so. The functionality of this LM is the thing that caught my attention. Just about everything works in the DVD edition works, straight out of the box. For those who do not want to tweak, tinker nor have the time to mess with these kind of things, and don’t want to pay for Windows, the LM 12 version could be the distro hopper stopper for many people if it does correct one thing before the final release is out. This is also novice friendly, too.

The real minor issue in LM Lisa is its compatibility with Moonlight Mono. It didn’t work. If they get this figured out before the final release, then what I posted above could become true. Pinguy, in this latest release, somehow got this right, even though the rest of the operating system tends to drag along.

After raving about the LMDE Gnome of this past January, I had tried the newer one which came out in the spring. This was a disappointment. Whatever they did, they regressed. It was lot slower in loading, and not all the repositories worked.

I’ve noticed same about the LMDX. One did not like their hard ball coding mechanism. Their mode of restarting is not what I call this process. I tried it for one day then ditched. Message to that version is thanks, but no thanks.

@ Brian Masinick:
Good Day Brian, I would take a look at the latest Linux Mint Gnome. Its RC is up on the repositories.

So you really like it, EasyEd? I am not particularly a GNOME, Ubuntu, or Mint fan, but based on your positive impression, I’d be willing to give it a look.

Anything in particular lead you to your positive impression – or were you just hoping that I would look at it and give you my impression of it?

What I can generally tell you about Mint distributions is that they are extremely easy to install and they have just about anything you can think of. The Debian Edition versions are not as well polished yet as the regular versions, but they are just as easy to install. If they tune those up just a bit better, they could end up being the best possible thing out there, because with the Debian Testing repositories backing them, you install it once and you are done until you choose to get something else; you can run the same distro for years, just upgrading it occasionally.

For me, I would have liked the Linux Mint Debian Xfce Edition, (LMDX), except that they made a choice that really bothered me, so eventually I just dumped the distro. What they did (and THEY definitely did this) was hard code a scheme that instead of rebooting the system using the usual /sbin/reboot program, in place of that program, they put an exec call to simply replace the currently managed OS image with a replacement (in UNIX and Linux terms, a “fork” is when you initiate a child process, a second process, of a parent process, and an “exec” is when you replace or overwrite the current process, executing or killing the current process with a new one. So their “Reboot” is not really a reboot at all; it won’t go and return to the system boot loader, it just restarts itself. Fine if that’s your only system, but with LMDX, rebooting just restarts itself. You have to do a halt to completely stop the system, then boot using the boot manager to find another system. How crazy! If it weren’t for that lousy feature, I’d like the release, but that’s a show stopper for me!

Good Day Brian, I would take a look at the latest Linux Mint Gnome. Its RC is up on the repositories.

LM 12 Gnome,although in RC at present, deftly took something that’s spastic, erratic and user unfriendly in Gnome 3 with Unity interfacing, and build their own version of Mint’s shell. It works very well. Would strongly download this, then see what it does when the final release is out. It has that kind of potential…to slow down distro hopping.

Macpup PLEAAAAASE! (:
