New Distro!

Nerdz · 20-August-06, 12:39 PM

The creaters of Unbuntu have come out with a new Distro, Xubuntu!
http://www.xubuntu.org/

Im going to try it out, It looks promising.

That looks pretty cool. I'll have to try it out on an old PC.

One thing I already like about it is the color scheme. I've always hated Ubuntu's browns and reds.

Not really new, it's Ubuntu with XFCE rather than Gnome (Like Kubuntu is KDE). I remember beta testing it back in April, I wish they used the SVN version of XFCE because it's a lot better, it comes with Thunar which is a great file manager.

XFCE is teh shiznit. That's enough reason for me.

Heres another new distro of Ubuntu, nUbuntu!
http://www.nubuntu.org/

It looks very...Simple. I tried xubuntu, and its Ok. Not my flavor, too simple, not enough stuff like Knoppix.

Im getting this all from wiki exploration

Ebuntu
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ebuntu#head-...8190e65ddeab62

Its a beta.

That desktop looks like Blackbox/Fluxbox or one of it's variations. Still, very lightweight, very slick.

I found this:http://www.mentoppix.blogspot.com/ But I cant seem to find any where to download it from

And it looks promising.
