"Linux is a very complete and sophisticated operating system. And there is a
lot of work being done to improve it in and of itself, particularly to make it
easier to use and easier for people to set up on their personal computers."

Frugalware 0.7 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Frugalware has a mission, and a really good mission. It works just great out
| of the box. There are a few hick-ups (like the installer bug and some minor
| crashes) but Frugalware is very well on track. It looks awesome, maybe a
| trend-setter in look-and-feel for linux. This is a distribution to look for
| in coming time.

Review: Frugalware 0.5 (Siwenna)
,----[ Summary ]
| Frugalware is a good option for intermediate and advanced
| users. It's not as good for the newcomers since there are
| not as many graphical wizards as found in openSUSE or
| Mandriva. On the other hand, the system is fast and simple,
| offers a great package manager, large software repository
| and decent multimedia support. What I missed the most is a
| local community (not existent, yet) of the distribution and
| a bit more well-thought packages (e.g. more modular
| approach to packaging KDE and other large apps). All in
| all, Frugalware is a very nice distro and it is really a
| fine choice for power user?s desktop.

Parallel Knoppix 2.8 has been released
,----[ Quote ]
| ParallelKnoppix is a remastered edition of KNOPPIX that allows setting up a
| cluster of machines for parallel processing using the LAM-MPI and/or MPICH
| implementations of MPI. Getting the cluster up and running takes less than 15
| minutes, if the machines have PXE network cards. Starting from version 2.2,
| the distribution is based on Debian's unstable branch, rather than KNOPPIX.

Who needs Windows Vista when you can have Knoppix 5.1.1 Live DVD?
,----[ Quote ]
| Well, in the first place there is no comparison between the two.
| In fact, there can't be any. Why? Simply because, Windows Vista
| is plain Operating system, with very little bundled apps. Whereas,
| Knoppix is complete Operating System bundled with hundreds of
| software that ranges from games to office!
|
| When you install Windows Vista (it requires whopping 6.7GB hard
| disk space at a bare minimum!), what you will get is - much hyped
| 3D aqua Desktop, a so-called secure operating system that bugs you
| to hell - by asking for every stupid task to Continue. In addition
| to that, It had about a dozen utilities such as paint, notepad,
| wordpad and a few games.
