GNU/LINUX DISTROS

GNU/LINUX DISTROS


Linux Mint (F)

Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based distribution whose goal is to provide a more complete out-of-the-box experience by including browser plugins, media codecs, support for DVD playback, Java and other components. Linux Mint is compatible with Ubuntu software repositories.



SimplyMEPIS (F)

MEPIS Linux is a Debian-based desktop Linux distribution designed for both personal and business purposes. It includes cutting-edge features such as a live, installation and recovery CD, superior hardware detection and configuration, NTFS partition resizing, ACPI power management, WiFi support, anti-aliased TrueType fonts, a personal firewall, all in KDE. I love this.



FreeBSD (F)

Not a Linux distro per se, but FreeBSD offers advanced networking, performance, security and compatibility features today which are still missing in other operating systems, even some of the best commercial ones. This loaded in only 12 minutes on my system, including HD reformats!



ZenWalk (F)

A Slackware-based GNU/Linux operating system with a goal of being slim and fast by using only one application per task and with focus on graphical desktop and multimedia usage. Modular, customizable, and lets you get straight to work with the most popular apps.
