    ArtistX is close to being the best way to introduce new users to Linux, especially the Linux desktop. A little tweaking of the desktop, wallpaper, and perhaps the graphical user interface, would make this the ideal way for new users to become hooked on Linux. A live Linux DVD having full access to all features on the DVD, is the way to go for all distros.

    Simply the best looking English to Japanese mouse over translator available. Very clean. Also I love that it references ALC, a site that I use frequently. If a vocabulary save function were added it would make this add-on perfect.

    Ver 5.0 community release. Trying it out for the first time in a test environment today. Been looking for this type of product for a long time and initial impressions are excellent. Just about everything worked out of the box and those that didnt took minimal time to figure out. Flawless GUI so far

    Seems to work well and will be very useful!

    Unfortunately, I cannot run gtkpinger unless i do "sudo gtkpinger". If I try to run it as a regular user, GTK+ complains that I shouldn't be running it with suid:

    (process:14600): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.
    This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
    program instead. For further details, see:

    http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html

    Refusing to initialize GTK+.


    I can work around this by doing "sudo gtkpinger" but this is sub-optimal.

    I have used OpenBSD for the last 5 years. I use it for some rock stable web services based on Ruby On Rails and Java. But also playing around with on a laptop with XFCE.
    Regarding ease of use I think it is both very easy to use in some regard, but requires some studying in some.
    OpenBSD does not include any graphical wizards to setup things. Instead OpenBSD has made a really strong effort to make command line based configuration as simple as possible. Most things hasve resonable default configuration and just work. This means that when you have configured something correctly you can keep this configuration for a long time without changing it.
    This make also perfectly sense regarding strong security focus of OpenBSD. It shall be very easy to setup things correctly. And this is supported by simple configuration files not hidded by wizards which you don't fully understand.
    The simplicity enables also that your system only include the software that you really need. This makes securing and understanding the system easier. Base install includes very little, but it is very easy to add packages.
    The code quality, documentation is excellent.
    This is some of the reasons I use OpenBSD for all my servers.

    The user side is OK.

    But once you enter the Admin Section prepare to abandon all hope. It's probably great for programmers and lovers of Linux and other command line enthusiasts. With scripts and doing your own programming you can make it dance jigs if you like.

    For those who want to get work done in their own projects it's pure hell. I tried posting product icons in my Jira Projects. One worked without a hitch. The other I couldn't get to work after 30 min of what should have been a no brainier.

    Changing workflows for existing projects - adding a step for instance - is a job for a day. Propagating that change to other, similar workflows isn't possible.

    The support is excellent. And the response from people on the form really is great. Of course, it has to be because otherwise no one would have gotten the damn program working except for the default workflow they ship with.

    Open source fans will love it - but they might as well stick with Bugzilla for free.

    I've been looking for a good Linux Desktop (for 2 yrs.) that was as easy to use as Windows 98, without all the crashes and bugs. I just wanted a Desktop I could use without all the fiddling and configuring; seems like every distibution 'had this, but did'nt have that' , or things needed to be installed and then it would'nt work right after that, and on an on...
    Everything works out of the box without messin' or screwing with it (ussually screwed it up in the proccess, too.), It has Everything I could possibly need right there after the install (audacity,CD/DVD burning, Ripping,Copying(CD/DVD),PDF,Firefox, ect.), and if anything is missing (or is needed ) I could run it under Wine. The Biggest reason I think This is the end of my Linux Search is the Games (under WINE.). Getting Stuff done on the computer is great, but after your work is done you've got to have some recreation (Games!), a lot of people won't say it but they think it ,Linux is missing something without good games (you know, the ones that were'nt made fore Linux.) ;).
    I just about gave up looking, and was going to 'pack it in' and go back to using Windows. I just got Tired of messing with 'packages' and RPM's and compiling, ... Whats wrong with just installing it and using it, sometimes it seems like a crime to say that. -Thank God for 'Just Use Linux' , I'd almost Given Up. -now i'm "USING" Linux instead of 'Messing' with Linux. yep! I'm done looking... Woweeeee......

The documentation is not right, and its too old so it just dont work .... I hope they resolve these problems ... I could even try the solution.

    i love this live disk...it runs as good off the cd as any installed OS ive had installed. but it seems to have a problem with the installation. is it just me or does anyone else have this problem too? im using a p2 with 384mb ram and a 40 gig HD with no other OS on it. it formats and sets up the petitions. i tried repeated ly to install it but it only made it thru the complete installation once and when i repbooted it said the OS was missing. it only has one way to install. so im certain its either a glitch in the installer or my comp itself which is odd because its the same comp i run the live cd from. i was going to reburn it and/or burn the 3.0 (the disk in question is ver 3.1) but the links for the site are all down.

    much better than the previous Kubuntu release, im using it on a netbook and it isnt slow, i love how it looks and the fact that its a part of the ubuntu family is a plus, it has the huge program library of ubuntu, and the fact that it does not take up as much resources as windows is what made me get this over windows 7, windows 7rc used up most of my memory and was killer on my cpu, even when overclocked to 125%, i love Kubuntu 9.10
