MoonOS - Something is amiss
,----[ Quote ]
| They worked quite fine, both suspend and
| hibernate. Suspend worked great in the live
| session, too. This is nice, considering
| MoonOS 3 roots (Jaunty), which used to
| misbehave a little on my test machines when
| it comes to laptop modes.
|
| Using MoonOS
|
| After you settle in, you can start using
| MoonOS, pretty much like any other Ubuntu-
| based distribution. It's fairly simple and
| comes down to basic demands, style, taste,
| as well as your level of expertise.
| Enlightenment desktop makes less sense for
| new users, but it may compensate with visual
| appeal. Plus, you have the bugs and quirks
| to account for.
|
| Other than that, you're really into a rather
| standard Ubuntu environment.
|
| [...]
|
| Conclusion
|
| MoonOS is a decent distribution. Fairly
| standard. But it has nothing new,
| revolutionary or exciting. In fact, it
| balances the would-be thrills of the
| Enlightenment desktop with clutter and a
| scattering of rather annoying bugs that
| smell of amateur work. Samba, for one.
|
| The fonts are too small, the desktop has an
| asymmetric cheap-expensive feel with no
| middle ground, something that has been done
| with much more grace in gOS, for example.
| The overall integration is missing. The
| mediocre sheen makes the whole story
| unremarkable, although bit by bit, MoonOS is
| quite all right. But as a whole, it misses
| the point.
|
| If you're into adding some color to your
| Ubuntu, you can do that without trying a
| whole new distro. If you like order and
| simplicity, then you should avoid
| Enlightenment altogether, as it takes a
| great deal of effort to tame into
| submission, with a faint promise of
| greatness at the far end. Then, Samba
| sharing makes for very disappointed cross-
| platform users. Most of these glitches do
| not exist on the parent distro and have been
| introduced by a not-so-tight integration of
| new elements onto the base core.
|
| MoonOS won't blow your mind away. It's a
| Ubuntu fork. And the fact the homepage is
| missing does not inspire one bit. You are
| probably better off downloading extra
| windows managers and all sorts of packages
| to your Ubuntu than starting fresh.

Distro Hoppin`: moonOS 3
,----[ Quote ]
| Though you're probably tired of all these Ubuntu-based distros, don't hesitate
| to give moonOS 3 a try. The Enlightenment desktop environment has matured a lot
| and can provide a solid production platform if you're willing to forgive its
| bugs here and there. Also, a big plus is the fact that you can tinker with it
| in so many ways to best suit your computing needs. Last but not least, it's
| simply b e a u t i f u l, without asking for a monster machine.

MoonOS 3.0
,----[ Quote ]
| All in all, MoonOS, is an alright distro. I canât say I particularly like the
| Enlightenment desktop, sure it does have some nice touches, but it is quite heavy
| and window switching isnât as easy as GNOME. The custom MoonOS tools take a lot
| from Linux Mint, but that does give them the user-friendliness and power, but I do
| get the feeling that some are just re bundled versions. The fact that moonGRUB does
| not work after an update is an issue, but fixable using the bug report. I wonât be
| using it, but if you like Enlightenment, I recommend you give MoonOS a try!

moonOS 3 Linux (Makara)
,----[ Quote ]
| Pros: Absolutely gorgeous remastered version of Ubuntu. Unique aesthetics, good
| selection of software, easy install. Features customized moonControl, moonGrub and
| moonSoftware tools.
| Cons: Install ran very slow in VMWare and I was unable to login after it was
| complete. It was necessary for me to switch to Parallels and install moonOS 3 again
| in order to login.
| Suitable For: Beginner, intermediate or advanced Linux users.
| Summary: A fantastically beautiful alternative to generic Ubuntu. One of the best
| remasters Iâve seen to date. Well worth a download just to experience the aesthetic
| appeal.

moonOS 3 Review, Screenshots, Video
,----[ Quote ]
| moonOS is another fantastic looking distro that has always put a lot of
| stock in appearance. Based on Ubuntu 9.04 Januty Jackalope and codenamed
| âMakaraâ, the moonOS 3.0 release is no exception with plenty of
| improvements to moonControl, the moonOS system control center, moonGrub,
| moonSoftware, and more. Along with many interface improvements moonOS 3.0
| uses the Linux 2.6.28-15 kernel, Firefox 3.5, Pidgin 2.6 and Xorg 7.4.

Review: Moon OS 2.0
,----[ Quote ]
| MoonOS is one of those elegant distros, where it focuses a lot on eyecandy
| and looking good. And it definitely has a lot of good things to look at.
| Sorta like something that comes by and catches your eye in a way that nothing
| else can. But good looks don't mean that what's underneath is all that
| great. But sometimes the good looks are only the beginning of the greatness
| hidden beneath that flashy exterior. So which is it for MoonOS? Let's find
| out.

First Look: moonOS 2
,----[ Quote ]
| If you don't fancy Enlightenment as your desktop environment and want
| something more "traditional," moonOS 2 is also available in an LXDE edition.
| Both versions of moonOS 2 are a joy to look at and use. I didn't find any
| major problems and the system is not a resource-eating monster so in the end
| whether you'll use it or not is just a matter of taste.
