Few days to new sidux snapshot!

,----[ Quote ]
| That’s right, snapshot! ‘Cause sidux is a “rolling release”, always fresh 
| from the latest in the debian/sid repos. It has been from it’s early days one 
| of our fun-and-work environment, we only can recommend it.

Stable [Linux] 2.6 Branches

,----[ Quote ]
| Greg KH and Chris Wright have been maintaining a -stable 2.6.x.y patchset for 
| the 2.6.x and 2.6.(x-1) kernels since March of 2005. 2.4 stable kernel 
| maintainer Willy Tarreau has also maintained patches against the 2.6.20 
| branch since August of 2007, though noted that he'll switch to maintaining 
| the stable 2.6.22 branch once Greg finishes. Adrian Bunk also continues to 
| maintain a -stable 2.6.16 branch of the Linux kernel.

| Distrowatch  with  the Iceweasal browser.

Sidux 2007-02 - A Review

,----[ Quote ]
| Simply put, Sidux 2007-02 was a pleasure to use. The live CD 
| worked beautifully, as did the installer. The desktop is very 
| dark, but this is nice to see after using so many “light” distributions.

Sidux: A live CD for Debian unstable

,----[ Quote ]
| It's a rare distribution that impresses me before I've even tried it,
| but sidux did just that when, a few hours after I'd downloaded and
| burned a two-day-old preview release, the project announced that the
| next release was available for download.

Testdriving Sidux 2007

,----[ Quote ]
| Sidux ships with a 2.6.20 kernel, Xorg 7.1.1, gcc 4.1.2, and KDE
| 3.5.5. Iceweasel 2.0.0.1 appears to be the default browser and
| OpenOffice.org is only at version 2.0.4. Besides what appears to
| be most of the KDE apps, other apps include The Gimp, Amarok,
| K3B, Kaffine, Scribus, XFMedia player, and Inkscape. There are a
| few system configuration tools, but not a lot. Ksensors is
| available through apt-get.

sidux -- a new star in the Linux galaxy

| What's most impressive: the huge amount of user documentation
| their documentation and translation teams have managed to write
| up in the short amount of time (the sidux user manual is currently
| available in English as well as Danish, Kroatian, Spanish and
| German).

Sidux vs. Mint: Can You Live the Pure Open Source Life?

,----[ Quote ]
| There are valid and compelling reasons why one might want to use only 
| Open Source Software. Avoids any patent or IP legal issues, better 
| security, and encourages innovation are just a few. However, on the 
| other side of the argument there are justifiable reasons for the 
| inclusion of multimedia codecs, proprietary drivers, and closed 
| software in modern Linux distributions. Neither side is wrong.
