Ubuntu Studio 7.10
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu Studio 7.10 is easy to install, looks nice, and works well. But is it
| worth installing? If you're an audiophile and need a real-time kernel and
| don't want to have to configure it yourself, then perhaps. Otherwise, I don't
| see a compelling reason to install it instead of normal Ubuntu 7.10. All the
| applications provided in Ubuntu Studio are now in the Ubuntu repositories
| thanks to the Ubuntu Studio developers. Even the boot splash, theme, and
| system sounds are a quick apt-get install away, although they must be applied
| manually.
|
| For those who want a real-time kernel or just love the look and feel of
| Ubuntu Studio 7.10 and can't be bothered to customize vanilla Ubuntu 7.10 to
| fit your needs, it's worth a download.

A Look at Ubuntu Studio
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu has been the most popular Linux distribution for quite some
| time now. This popularity has spawned quite a few variants. Apart
| from the inevitable third-party knock-offs, there are a few
| "official" Ubuntu-based distributions: Kubuntu, which has a KDE
| GUI instead of the standard GNOME, Edubuntu, which is optimized
| for use in classrooms and Xubuntu, which uses the lighter-weight
| XFCE desktop to take advantage of older computers. Now, a new
| variant has appeared called Ubuntu Studio.

Ubuntu Studio 7.04 - The Crowning Jewel of the Ubuntu Family
,----[ Quote ]
| I am truly amazed and delighted with Ubuntu Studio. I'm surprised at my
| reaction as well. I'm not a big Ubuntu supporter, although I'm not a
| detractor either. I've just never been all that impressed with Ubuntu.
| Ubuntu Studio is a different matter. It was attractive and pleasant with
| some little extra touches that make it seemed very polished and
| professional.

| out the door.

SimplyMEPIS 6.5 - A Review
,----[ Quote ]
| I have been very impressed by the entire SimplyMEPIS 6.5 operating
| system. It was probably the best install experience I have ever had,
| offers great response, and has an enjoyable interface. Personally,
| I feel that this has been my best KDE experience thus far, even with
| my previous use of PCLinuxOS 2007. You may not hear too much about
| MEPIS when it comes to Linux news sites, but there is definitely a
| good reason why there are so many users.

| SimplyMEPIS 6.5 is definitely the coolest distribution I have

| Woodford [MEPIS]: Again it's a matter of what you mean by those words.
| Mark [Shuttleworth] and I talked it over before I switched to Ubuntu.
| He's clear that MEPIS is an independent distro. And yet, it is fair
| to say on the Ubuntu site that MEPIS is a derivative of Ubuntu,
| from the point of view that we use the Ubuntu packages. And we
| use them by choice, because they meet our needs and they're
| the best available. That reference at the Ubuntu site says
| that we endorse Ubuntu, and we do.

SaxenOS and SimplyMEPIS - bumps in the middle of the road
,----[ Quote ]
| SaxenOS 2.0 Beta 1
|
| [...]
|
| I've always liked STX and can say I believe I like SaxenOS even better.
| It's still wonderful for older hardware and now with 2.0 it is easier
| to install and use. It's always fast, stable, and fairly complete. I
| feel like the version bump perhaps should have come at the beginning
| of this development cycle due to the massive interface changes, so
| it is definitely justified now.
|
| [...]
|
| SimplyMEPIS 6.5 Beta 5
|
| [...]
|
| Despite KDE still being version 3.5.3 and much of the same software
| is offered, the updated look and feel as well as the X server and
| promise of Beryl does seem to justify a version bump mid-cycle
| for SimplyMEPIS.
