OzOS Linux - The Wizard or the Tinman?

Hi all,

I've written a review on OzOS, a Xubuntu based distro.

The review includes desktop functionality, live CD experience, networking, sharing, wireless, software management & updates functionality (including apt:foo), choice of applications, and more.

If you're interested:

Looks like it needs a good amount of polish and seems like the devs didn't really test it that good.

 

Yep, this latest release needs work, I have to say that I had much greater success with the version before this one.. The desktop IS beautiful, and something that really attracted me also. In the previous version I had no trouble installing and things seemed to work out of the box, but this last version had some glaring issues, for one, I couldn't even get it to see my 2nd NTFS HD no matter what I did, which was a no go for me. I didn't dive into it too much beyond the surface though, so perhaps didn't find a lot of the problems Mrk found in this new release. Thanks for the review Mrk.

 

Jenkuya. Anyone have any Krustiki?

 

If jokes were money, you'd be now 100 bucks short.

That's a Rodger Bodger.

Was that an upload download meter on the desktop?

 

Might be ... I don't know what you're talking about
I'm seeing hundreds of desktop images every days for a dozen distros. My head is overloaded with Linux, so if you could be a good chap and point out exactly what you meant ...
