Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11098 | Sure, for being the basis most others built their own distributions on, but as for me, I don't consider it overly usable. Way too bloated, most of the 'default application choices' on there aren't too great. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11098 | No, it squeezes as much stuff into 50MB as possible, and it succeeds fairly well with that, I think. You get a GUI, a word processor, a webbrowser, an e-mail client, a spreadsheet a drawing application, an NES emulator and lots of more stuff. Remember: everything combined just 50MB. The barebones of The Gimp alone need more than 25MB, so they went for the 'lighter' X-Paint which is not quite as good, of course. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 936 | Anybody ever run this? I'm running it right now. It says it needs 256mb, I have 512mb. It seems really fast and not slow. I'm sort of lost though in linux Hrmm. Whoops my bad. Edited by Tuss at 00:03 on February, 02nd 2005 ----- Keep your stick on the ice |
