Review: Xubuntu 8.10 'Intrepid Ibex' Alpha 6

,----[ Quote ]
| If you're planning on gaming on an older machine but have an affection for 
| Ubuntu, then Xubuntu is an obvious choice. Games these days eat quite a lot 
| of resources, and with LCD screens almost enforcing you to use native 
| resolutions your older machine will be working overtime to pump out the 
| pixels. From what I've seen, Xubuntu is stable even at this stage of 
| development (just over a month to go to the final version) and I'd recommend 
| it to anyone with an older machine who is wanting to access the new goodies 
| in the Ibex repositories.

PCBSD 7.0 Review

,----[ Quote ]
| PCBSD is a nice distribution for new users to the "alternative" operating 
| systems as it is pointed towards new users, but advance users would not be 
| disappointed. It is nice to see that PCBSD is progressing nicely, but there 
| is still that issue of no 64 bit support as they have done it once in the 
| past but strictly release their distribution for 32bit support only.

PC-BSD 7 Released

,----[ Quote ]
| This release marks a milestone for PC-BSD, by moving to the latest FreeBSD
| 7-Stable and also incorporating the KDE 4.1.1 desktop. Users will immediately
| notice the improved visual interface that KDE 4.1.1 offers, as well as a
| large improvement in hardware support and speed from the update to FreeBSD
| 7-Stable.

PC-BSD: Another Alternative To Linux As A Windows Alternative

,----[ Quote ]
| If PC-BSD is to be a serious contender alongside the Ubuntus, Fedoras, 
| Mandrivas and OpenSUSEs of the computing world, there is still some work to 
| be done on that proclaimed 'ease-of-use' issue.

Review: PC-BSD 1.5  

,----[ Quote ]
| PC-BSD, a strong contender for the top desktop distribution out there, has 
| once again grown, going from version 1.3 to 1.5 in just under a year.  In 
| that time it's grown, prospered, and had it's fair share of growing pains as 
| well.  But version 1.5 is only one subversion up from the previous version 
| 1.4 that we reviewed.  So what makes version 1.5 better than its predecessors 
| and worth a look from us?  Well, let's have a look.

First look at PC-BSD 1.5

,----[ Quote ]
| Compiz Fusion is included in this release and worked really well. There's a 
| menu entry which, when clicked, asks if you'd like to enable it at boot. When 
| clicked, Compiz Fusion is immediately enabled and special effects are 
| available. I didn't suffer any instability or performance issues when using 
| this application, but it did seem to require the restart of X to disable the 
| feature.

My Vietnamese Students used PC-BSD

,----[ Quote ]
| Most of them were successful though all preferred doing their projects in 
| Linux, that is what they told me. The bash shell in PCLinuxOS, according to 
| them, was easier since it told them which directory they were in. In short, 
| they got used to seeing $ /usr/home/guest/Desktop in PCLinuxOS while in 
| PC-BSD, they only saw $. pwd I kept telling them :)
