Chakra Alpha 3 â Review!
,----[ Quote ]
| Ive always prefered the minimalist DE. XFCE
| was always a favorite of mine and whilst my
| hardware is more than modern enough to run
| the latest DE, Ive always been of the opinion
| that no matter what your specs, you shouldnât
| needlessly throw CPU cycles away on âbling
| featuresâ that apart from being visually
| appealing serve little purpose. Having said
| that I cannot live in the past forever so
| âonwards and upwardsâ with KDE 4.3.1!

| It would not be fair to be critical of Chakra
| on the basis of it being incomplete in terms
| of default packages, if this is an example of
| later versions I can see Chakra being VERY
| popular. Its fast, functional & compatible.
| In regards to KDE I found it smooth, fast and
| puts Windows 7 to shame since I was running
| a very GFX appealing distro on only 512mb of
| ram and an old rig.

| Iâve enjoyed my time looking at Chakra, and while it has many rough edges to
| iron out before an official release, I do think itâs potential is there for
| all to see. Arch is a great distribution and building on top of it like this
| makes perfect sense to me. Iâm not sure exactly who Chakra is aimed at but it
| doesnât seem to be new Linux users. They even say that on their website. I
| think for Arch users who like KDE itâs definitely worth a look, even in this
| early stage. Why not get involved and help them make it even better. Some
| knowledge of Arch is essential if youâre planning to get involved with
| Chakra. Having the backup of my Arch experience really helped me fix some
| teething problems. The liveCD works perfectly already, they just need to
| tweek the installer a little and theyâll be onto a winner. One thing is for
| sure, when they finally get a full release of Chakra ready for public
| consumption, Iâll be back to look at it. Itâs one to keep your eye on I say.
