[News] Ubuntu-based SymphonyOne 2008.1 Released, 200MHz Processor is Fine

SymphonyOne 2008.1 Released

,----[ Quote ]
| The SymphonyOS Project is pleased to announce the release of SymphonyOne 
| 2008.1, our first major release in almost a year. SymphonyOne is an almost 
| 100% rewrite of all the Mezzo desktop code taking advantage of more features 
| of fvwm to provide a smaller footprint and more stable environment. Based on 
| Ubuntu 7.10, SymphonyOne provides a complete desktop environment and full 
| Ubuntu compatibility on systems with as little as a 200mhz processor

Linux For Older PC Hardware

,----[ Quote ]
| With the relatively old hardware we had used with our select benchmarks, the 
| five desktop Linux distributions tested performed close to each other but 
| Mandriva 2008 Beta 1 had taken a surprising lead in some instances. This DVD  
| distribution is backed by the Linux 2.6.22 kernel, GNOME 2.19 / KDE 3.5.7, 
| and has a variety of other benefits such as NTFS write support, AppArmor, 
| Compiz Fusion, a new wireless stack. While Mandriva had a lead in these 
| benchmarks and with the SiS 650GX-backed Pentium 4 "A" setup, we cannot call 
| a decisive winner and that we had only tried out five desktop distributions 
| out of the dozens (hundreds) available.
