Linux Mint 8 âLXDEâ Edition Review

,----[ Quote ]
| This is a great release from the Mint team. 
| It's fast, built on the rock solid Linux 
| Mint core and pleasing to the eye. There 
| are more than enough applications available 
| to suit anyone and customization options 
| are easy to use and plentiful.
| 
| Pro's:
| 
|     * Very fast thanks to LXDE and Openbox 
|     for the desktop.
|     * Excellent selection of software.
|     * Visually attractive with plenty of 
|     customization options.
|     * Easy to use for a new user.
| 
| Con's:
| 
|     * We would have preferred to see 
|     AbiWord instead of OpenOffice installed 
|     by default.

Puredyne- A Powerfull Linux OS for creative people (Artists) 

,----[ Quote ]
| Based on Ubuntu and Debian Live, puredyne 
| is a Linux live distribution dedicated to 
| live audiovisual processing and streaming, 
| and focuses largely on the Pure Data audio 
| synthesis system, although it also includes 
| SuperCollider, Csound as well as live 
| video-processing systems such as Packet 
| Forth and Fluxus. Another aspect of 
| pure:dyne is that it is maintained by media 
| artists for media artists. The system 
| provides particular optimizations at the 
| kernel and compilation level to take the 
| most out of i686 machines for real-time 
| audio and video. As a consequence, this 
| operating system is well suited for live 
| performances and art installations. The 
| modular aspect makes it easy for artists to 
| customize and deploy it quickly to their 
| own project needs.
