Two new Distro Checks
I don’t know where I came up with the term ‘distro-jockey’ but I think it describes many of us pretty well. This site is focused on distributions of Linux as the entrypoint for new users of Linux. Well, it’s also focused on how cool it is to install Linux on things so perhaps the scope is a little broad.
In keeping with the desire to explore Linux installations there are two new Distro Checks available today. I had the day off of work so I described my experience with two totally new distros (new to me that is):
They are both LiveCD’s so I was able to do them without any re-partitioning or anything complicated. It was mostly a test to see if they would run out of the box and be competent at handling hardware and doing basic productivity things. I’m sad to report that neither one was of any use for playing songs and movies, but hopefully I’ll come across a LiveCD that can do that soon.
