[News] Reviews of 2 Slackware Derivatives, Absolute Linux and Wolvix Linux

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

First look at Absolute Linux 12.2.5

,----[ Quote ]
| My original conclusion was that there was nothing wrong with Absolute Linux 
| but that it really wasn't a particularly compelling distro. There just isn't 
| anything that makes it stand out from the crowd. Add a raft full of broken 
| applications and configuration tools and a repository problem and there is 
| now a compelling reason to give this release a pass. If the concepts Paul 
| Sherman detailed in his interview sound appealing to you, my advice would be 
| either to try 12.2.4 or wait for 12.2.6 and hope that it's significantly 
| better.

Wolvix Linux 2.0 Beta 2 Review

,----[ Quote ]
| Wolvix is based on Slackware and, according to the Wolvix site, is geared 
| toward the home user. Wolvix uses the lightweight Xfce desktop environment 
| and provides a somewhat greater range of apps than some of the other 
| distributions.

Test Driving Wolvix 2.0.0 Beta

,----[ Quote ]
| All in all, I really enjoyed testing this distribution. Not being a big fan
| of Slackware, I didn't expect to be so pleasantly surprised by some aspects.
| Also, Wolvix 2.0.0 makes it way easier to see what Slackware is about.
| Surely, there are still things that need to be polished, but I was very
| impressed with the up-to-date software selection and the easy install
| process. Hopefully, by the time Wolvix 2.0.0 final is released, all the
| inconveniences will be taken care of.
