Whatâs been happening with Edubuntu?
,----[ Quote ]
| Edubuntu 9.10 was our first release that
| returned from being an add-on CD to a full
| installation disc. It had a big problem
| though, it was almost double the size what
| it needed to be. The alternate installation
| that shipped with the disc required for
| LTSP installation meant that every program
| and its files were shipped twice on the
| image, resulting in a very bloated disc. It
| was unavoidable at the time though but for
| Lucid we have managed to integrate
| everything thatâs required for a full
| Edubuntu setup into the desktop LiveCD, so
| no more alternate installation is required.
| The effective overall gain on the Lucid
| installation media is about 1GB. We donât
| want to waste space since the current 2.2GB
| image is already quite heavy on mirrors,
| but at it is good to know that we have some
| more leeway when we want to add more
| features.

| Linux Mint 9 will feature a brand new version
| of mintBackup, the âBackup Toolâ, rewritten
| from scratch by a newcomer in the development
| team, somebody people on the IRC and the
| forums know quite well: Ikey.

Returning to Linux, Round 2...Mint
,----[ Quote ]
| I always likes the ideas within Mint...make
| a good package better by adding little
| features and taking out what isn't
| necessary. I remembered from the day that
| everything just worked. Websites played
| flash, video on DVD would play with audio,
| documents opened without too much effort or
| downloading extras. So what else is here
| that most people would like to know about?

Ubuntu vs. Linux Mint
,----[ Quote ]
| I recently heard the comparison that Mint
| today is a lot like Simply Mepis was years
| ago, and I feel its accurate. Barring my
| personal lack of hardware support (this
| included fan control which is vital on a
| metal Macbook), Iâve heard great things
| including more extensive printer support, and
| after using it for a little bit I felt that
| aside from the menu, that I think might in
| fact be harder for a new user, Mint is a good
| distribution.
