First look at Dreamlinux 3.0

,----[ Quote ]
| Dreamlinux developers released version 3.0 of their Debian-based Linux 
| distribution last weekend. I've looked at several versions of this distro 
| over the years and I recall how beautiful I thought it was in the beginning. 
| The wallpaper has been changed and the theme has been updated, but it still 
| basically looks the same.

About the AWN dock for Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| When you first think of Apple, the first thing that usually comes to mind is 
| the dock. If you are not an avid Apple user or just don't know what a dock 
| is, it's the nifty looking application launcher at the bottom of every apple 
| computer. It launches programs and keeps track of opened an minimized ones. 
| The question is are there any great docks to use on the Linux operating 
| system?     
| 
| Window Navigator or most now call it AWN for short. AWN was created by Neil 
| Patel and was The answer is yes, there is an amazing dock for Linux, and I it 
| has lots of features that Apple doesn't yet. The dock is called Avant 
| released to the public using Google Code in 2007   
| 
| [...]
| 
| AWN not only functions great as a dock, but looks amazing. AWN at the moment 
| has 3 overall looks, which can all be themed with lots of different colors 
| and or patters.

Dreamlinux 3.0 Beta 3 Testdrive 

,----[ Quote ]
| I know many of you dream of a Linux distribution that combines Mac OS X's 
| looks with Linux's power. Now, that dream becomes reality with Dreamlinux, a 
| distribution that has under the hood Debian components and pleases the eye of 
| the user with Mac-ish eye candy. Dreamlinux is a Brazilian distribution that 
| can boot directly into XFCE or GNOME, depending on the user's preferences.

DreamLinux Live CD Review

,----[ Quote ]
| In the end, I have to say that I highly recommend this distro. Based on good 
| old Debian, you will find software, hardware and life in general work really 
| well with DreamLinux. If you are tired of the same old Linux distributions 
| and want to try something with a unique feel, consider this distro. I did, 
| and I have to say, I'm going to dedicate a machine to it so I can watch it 
| grow.

Review: DreamLinux 2.2 Multimedia GL Edition

,----[ Quote ]
| I can't recommend DreamLinux to the average user, but only because the 
| average user couldn't care less about multimedia production. DreamLinux is a 
| great distro, with a rock-solid Debian base and a great app selection.  
| Behold, my new rating system! Artwork and Community are now worth half a 
| point each in the final score.

Review of Dreamlinux 2.2 Media Edition (sort of)

,----[ Quote ]
| An odd distro that no one ever seems to discuss which looks good (at
| face value). Something which claims to be a "media edition" is surely
| worth my time while I continue my quest to find the most usable Linux
| distro of 2007. Unfortunately things didn't go to plan...

Review: Dreamlinux 2.2

,----[ Quote ]
| When it comes to choosing a Linux distribution, people tend to stick
| with the major players, such as Ubuntu, SUSE, or Fedora. However,
| every once in a while a distro comes along that offers a look at
| Linux in a new and fun way. One such distribution is Dreamlinux,
| a Morphix-based implementation of Linux that can be run from a
| single CD or installed on a hard drive. Dreamlinux 2.2 aims to
| offer a full range of desktop applications while providing a
| wealth of multimedia tools for easy production of
| professional-grade media.

Dreamlinux 2.2

,----[ Quote ]
| Dreamlinux is one of the lesser known distributions, and certainly
| does not appear in the headlines with the same frequency as Ubuntu 
| or openSUSE. However, it seems to have been ticking along nicely,
| with the 1.0 release about a year ago. Today, we're looking at
| DreamLinux 2.2, based on Debian with bits borrowed from Morphix.

DREAMLINUX : Not Quiet a Dream but still Good

,----[ Quote ]
| Speed Wise DreamLinux works like a charm being based on less resource
| hungry XFCE . Though i had some problem installing DreamLinux onto
| harddisk but overall DreamLinux is really good Linux Distro for
| someone new to Linux with a old hardware it works really well for
| playing Audio/Video files and surfing the internet and being based
| on XFCE and stable Debian platform is another plus. Overall you
| could give this distro a try it might not be a Ideal Dream OS but
| still is quiet functional and since can work as a LIVE CD mode so
| you should have no problem trying it out.

Dreamlinux 2.2 MME -- when dreams come true

,----[ Quote ]
| Dreamlinux is a fine distribution for a desktop multimedia center.
| It can already be a good competitor for other multimedia-centered
| distros like dyne:bolic or the Ubuntu clones like Linux Mint or
| Ubuntu Multimedia Center. If you are an experienced Linux user,
| Dreamlinux probably won?t offer you any extra value. But you may
| still consider recommending it for your non-geek friends that care
| for stability and great multimedia support out-of-the-box.
