Peppermint OS â A New Take on the Web-Centric Desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| As a Linux, Peppermint is not particularly
| notable except for its suitability for
| machines with low hardware specs, or users
| who do not want system resources wasted on
| bells and whistles like 3D cubes and
| wobbly windows. Peppermint should run
| quickly on just about any PC. Regarding
| the Prism aspect, itâs harder to draw a
| conclusion. Mozilla is still developing
| Prism so its full capabilities have not
| yet been reached, but the current state
| does not seem to be especially remarkable.
| Much of the functionality can be
| replicated (though perhaps not as well)
| with simple browser shortcuts. When Prism
| has more polish it may be a central part
| of how we interact with our computers, but
| for now Peppermint is mainly a small, fast
| and simple OS, albeit with dreams of
| something bigger.

Peppermint OS: Another member of "Team Linux"
,----[ Quote ]
| The first question that springs to mind
| when hearing of a new Linux distribution
| is not "what does it do?" but "why?" It
| would seem by now that virtually every
| possible angle has been covered, and that
| a Linux distribution must exist for almost
| any use case one could conceive of. Yet
| the recently-announced Peppermint Linux is
| slightly different in that it seeks to
| bridge the gap between standard desktop
| computing and "cloud" computing.

REVIEW: Peppermint â Cloud/Lightweight distro & considering the cloud?
,----[ Quote ]
| A strongly recommended distro which not
| only gives a solid desktop experience that
| is capable of handling any task you throw
| at it, but also introduces you to cloud
| computing in a very non-committal way.
|
| Just like many of the distroâs I feature
| here, I encourage you to support this
| project, the hard work and professionalism
| this distro displays for me means its one I
| will be following with great interest in
| the future and as far as Ubuntu derived
| distroâs go, this is up there with the best
| of them.
|
| I have been contacted by the devs behind
| Peppermint and have the pleasure of saying
| that a Q&A session will follow in a future
| article.
